re occurs inside __get_free_pages. The fix is to limit the number of chains to 100,000. In addition, the number of host credits is limited to 30,000 IOs. However this limitation can be overridden this using the command line option max_queue_depth. The algorithm for calculating the reply_post_queue_depth is changed so that it is equal to (reply_free_queue_depth + 16), previously it was (reply_free_queue_depth * 2).
