[karmic] Kernel oops when running iscsi_discovery

[Etienne Goyer]

On karmic, the kernel oops when running iscsi_discovery from the open-iscsi package.

I do not get the oops on jaunty.

The iscsi_discovery command line is:

    sudo iscsi_discovery 192.168.4.13

Where 192.168.4.113 is a Ubuntu machine running iscsitarget.

Attached are the output of the iscsi_discovery command along with dmesg after the oops in question.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.

Hi Etienne,

Care to also quickly confirm this remains with the newer 2.6.31-1.14 kernel? Thanks.

Leann, I just tested with 2.6.31-2.16. I used the -generic flavour, as there was no -server. I am not getting the oops anymore when running iscsi_discovery. I guess that's good news!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Thanks for testing Etienne, sounds promising. For now I'm going to mark this Fix Released since the -server flavour is the same code base as the -generic flavour. Obviously if this reappears please reopen this by setting the Status back to new. Thanks!
