Hi,

During recent debugging session of my SCSI target SCST
(http://scst.sf.net) I noticed many

WARNING: at fs/buffer.c:1186 mark_buffer_dirty+0x51/0x66()

messages in kernel log on the initiator. I attached the full log of
several of them.

My target was buggy and I was working on fixing it, but I suppose Linux
should handle such failures more gracefully. In all the cases the target
had one type of failure: it "ate" a SCSI command and never returned
result of it.

Right. This is one of the warnings I see in my fault-injection testing.
It is fixed by my patch to clean up and improve the page and buffer
error handling in the vm/fs.
