update: the 'forcedeth NULL pointer oops' problem got resolved by one of
these commits:
commit 3ba4d093fe8a26f5f2da94411bf8732fa6e9da86
Author: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com>
Date: Fri Mar 23 05:50:02 2007 -0500
forcedeth: fix tx timeout
commit fcc5f2665c81e087fb95143325ed769a41128d50
Author: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com>
Date: Fri Mar 23 05:49:37 2007 -0500
forcedeth: fix nic poll
it never reoccured since this went upstream - so i'd close the NULL
dereference bug.
furthermore, i havent seen the 'forcedeth interface hangs' problem
trigger with recent kernels (havent seen it trigger for the past 2
weeks), but no forcedeth specific change went into the kernel since i
last reproduced a hang so either it got fixed by something else, or the
hang is very rare. We could lower its priority for v2.6.21. If it ever
happens again i'll send another ethtool dump to Ayaz.
