Error description

  • After the fix for IT26556 was introduced, it's now possible that
    certain type of page header corruption in a smart blob page can
    cause the restore of the smart blob data to hang.
    
    The stack trace for the hanging physrecover thread would look
    like this:
    
    sbx_arc_pages_put
    dophysrecvr
    startup
