Subject: [PATCH] 8390: Don't oops on starting dev queue
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:01:02 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC93BCE.4020303@parallels.com> (raw)

The __NS8390_init tries to start the device queue before the
device is registered. This results in an oops (snipped):

[    2.865493] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010

This happens because the netif_start_queue sets respective bit on the dev->_tx
array which is not yet allocated.

As far as I understand the code removing the netif_start_queue from __NS8390_init
is OK, since queue will be started later on device open. Plz, correct me if I'm wrong.

Found in the Dave's current tree, so he's in Cc.
