Hello,
I just tried to narrow problem with DFE530 card and found
another (rather fatal) bug in 2.4.0-test12.
I attached both my config and ksymoops output. It seems
that ip_defrag is called with skb where skb->dev is NULL.
It then crashes in ip_queue_frag.
I can trigger it regulary by ping -s 1500 some_ip (to
ping thru ethernet iff) on two computers.
Please cc me in replies to [email protected].
thanks, devik

Linus,
How about we kill these recursive oopsen by changing the
printk("Aiee, killing interrupt handler") to a panic? If we're
entering do_exit() from an interrupt, we will eventually enter
schedule(), again as an interrupt, which will BUG(), and then
we'll repeat ad-infinitum.
panic() is better since we break this fatal recursive oops loop,
and we also get the additional advantage that a machine with
"panic=60" set will recover.
Currently, you hit this recursive oops problem, and its game over
until reset (unless you have a hardware watchdog).
