No, it is not this patch. It is something else. And whatever it is, it is already present in 2.6.25-rc3.

To reproduce it, I need to plug an SBP-2 device in and out, then shut the machine down (e.g. shutdown -h now, whereas shutdown -r now does not seem to trigger the bug).

I am now gradually removing debug options from the kernel to see which debug facility is making the fuzz...

It is CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING (Lock debugging: prove locking correctness).

At the moment when the machine powers itself off.

What a waste of time.
