Here's today's installment :-)
See what you think about this.
I've added a global variable and sprinkled checks for it in the
kernel... this is from aha1542.c:
in_region=1;
scsi_uto3b(0, ccb->link_addr);
/*
* Put the scsi command in the ccb and start it
*/
if (!(flags & SCSI_ESCAPE))
bcopy(xs->cmd, &ccb->scsi_cmd, ccb->scsi_cmd_length);
if (!(flags & SCSI_NOMASK)) {
if(debug) break_tdr4();
s = splbio(); /* stop instant timeouts */
timeout(aha_timeout, (caddr_t)ccb, (xs->timeout * hz) / 1000);
aha_startmbx(ccb->mbx);
/*
* Usually return SUCCESSFULLY QUEUED
*/
splx(s);
SC_DEBUG(xs->sc_link, SDEV_DB3, ("sent\n"));
in_region=0;
if(debug) break_tdr3();
debug = 0;
return (SUCCESSFULLY_QUEUED);
}
in_region=0;
aha_startmbx(ccb->mbx);
[Recall that a break at _break_tdr4 masks the problem; while one at
_break_tdr3 does not.]
note the variable "in_region".
I added checks that looked like:
if(in_region) {
printf("XXXX while in_region!!!\n");
}
to:
aha_free_ccb(), aha_get_ccb(), aha_done(), aha_scsi_cmd(), aha_timeout(),
get_xs(), and free_xs().
My thought was that if; somehow, the timeout got run (aha_timeout),
it would call scsi_done which would eventually call aha_done; mucking
around with the ccb free list and causing my problem.
But - none of this happened... (no wonderfully diagnosing printf() got
hit...)
Does anyone have any other potential functions to check into (that is,
what could be run in my small region that could cause the problem.)
[I note that aha_intr() isn't in the list above - I assumed that since
we were at splbio(); I wouldn't need to check on that.]
