If direct i/o is done with tape drives using commands like tar in fixed block mode with buffer sizes that are not a multiple of the already formatted tape's block size then a call trace and system hang can be observed.
The issue is not specific to any HBA and is more easily reproducible with reads on media formatted using the following means -
1) Pre-formatted new media.
2) Media formatted with different blocksize using a backup software.
3) Running tar commands after setting a different block size using mt.
