[oops] SCSI / loop device / HFS crash in 2.4.15-pre4 (ksymoops output incl.)

[Mark Orr]

Just compiled 2.4.15pre4 (upgraded from -pre1aa1) and was
torture testing it.   I found a 100% repeatable crash - it
doesnt hang the system, but it leave the CDROM drive stuck.

What I was doing:  Since you cant mount Macintosh (HFS) formatted
CD's with SCSI cdrom drives,  I did as Alan Cox suggested and mounted
it through a loop device.   i.e.:

% losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/sr0
% mount -t hfs /dev/loop0 /cdrom

This mounted my HFS cdrom, and allowed me to do directory listings
and such.   But when I tried to read a file from that HFS CD, there
was a crash which left the CDROM drive and provess [scsi_eh_0] stuck.
(I was trying to read a textfile on the CD with "less")

Here's the ksymoops output:

ksymoops 2.4.3 on i586 2.4.15-pre4.  Options used
