There's a scsi generic (sg) patch that needs to go against 2.4.5 to zap that
unkillable process condition I was running into. I know you try to track
just the Linus kernels, but you might want to consider putting this into CVS
as well, since the bug's consequences are (operationally) pretty severe.
These are the patches against sg.h and sg.c in the 2.4.5-ac18 patch. (The
header patch is cosmetic, but it keeps the two files in sync.)
There are other scsi patches, lots in fact, that could probably safely go in
as well. However, this is the only really critical one that I am aware of,
since the error condition it fixes forces you to do a shutdown, and can
result in a hung machine requiring a power cycle (if you aren't near another
box to ssh in and shut it down).
