[SCSI] fix slab corruption during ipr probe
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I see slab corruption messages during boot on pSeries machines with IPR adapters with any 2.6.12-rc kernel. The change which seems to have introduced the problem is "SCSI: revamp target scanning routines" and may be found at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111093946426333&w=2 In order to revert that in a 2.6.12-rc1 tree, I had to revert "target code updates to support scanned targets" first: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111094132524649&w=2 With both patches reverted, the corruption messages go away. ipr: IBM Power RAID SCSI Device Driver version: 2.0.13 (February 21, 2005) ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Found IOA with IRQ: 167 ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Starting IOA initialization sequence. ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Adapter firmware version: 020A005C ipr 0001:d0:01.0: IOA initialized. scsi0 : IBM 570B Storage Adapter Vendor: IBM Model: VSBPD4E1 U4SCSI Rev: 4770 Type: Enclosure ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: IBM H0 Model: HUS103036FL3800 Rev: RPQF Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 Vendor: IBM H0 Model: HUS103036FL3800 Rev: RPQF Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 Vendor: IBM H0 Model: HUS103036FL3800 Rev: RPQF Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 Vendor: IBM H0 Model: HUS103036FL3800 Rev: RPQF Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 Vendor: IBM Model: VSBPD4E1 U4SCSI Rev: 4770 Type: Enclosure ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Slab corruption: start=c0000001e8de5268, len=512 Redzone: 0x5a2cf071/0x5a2cf071.

I did some digging and the problem seems to be a refcounting issue in __scsi_add_device. The target gets freed in scsi_target_reap, and then __scsi_add_device tries to do another device_put on it.
