Subject: How to understand an oops?
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 12:42:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F703FAE.32215.13B8E21F@localhost> (raw)

Hello,

using samba 2.2.8a with kernel 2.4.20 or 2.4.23pre1 ends in an oops. 
In several mailings to the lkml I tried to get help but unfortunately 
nobody did answer me.

I'm trying to interpret all the oopses myself. I reproduced the 
kernel panic in different configurations - with or without LVM or 
RAID. What all oopses do have common is the "Code" section. 
skb_drop_fraglist is listed herein. skb_drop_fraglist is defined in 
net/core/skbuff.c.

Does the code section mean that the kernel panic occurred during 
execution of this code?
How likely is it that a bug in net/core/skbuff.c is causing the 
kernel panic?
How can I find other code/modules from which skb_drop_fraglist is 
called and used?
What is the best way interpreting such an oops?
