Hi All,
After I started the NFS server, it crashed:

Well that got a tremendous response, didn't it?
What do you mean by "crashed"? The above is a warning and the system
should have survived.
Which kernel version is being used?

The transmit start rework look like it should have already fixed the problem.
The driver was calling spin_lock_irqsave before calling skb_linearize, now
it checks first.

Simplify and remove redundant code for filling transmit descriptors.
No changes in features; it's just a code reorganization/cleanup.

That is the key question. From the pathnames, I suspect that gshan is
using a MontaVista version. I'm still (especially) interested, since
MontaVista pays me.
BTW, I never received the original message on netdev or linux-kernel.
Hmm. Thanks to Andrew for replying.

I thought of replying to this post when I saw it couple weeks back, but
didn't because (1) that's an ancient kernel and (2) the first link that
was mentioned up there in the original post itself pointed to a patch to
solve it (which I verified was since applied to mainline too).
