Subject: defxx: skb_push() failing?
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:29:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5151B0CE.5000000@ll.mit.edu> (raw)
Hello,
In dfx_xmt_queue_pkt() in defxx.c, there is a skb_push(3) call which
makes room for 3 packet request header bytes. There is some discussion
in the driver explaining why those three bytes will be available. I
have an old FDDI card that I'm trying to bring up:
05:05.0 FDDI network controller: Digital Equipment Corporation
PCI-to-PDQ Interface Chip [PFI] (rev 02)
Most skbuffs that come through dfx_xmit_queue_pkt() have 11 bytes
between skb->head and skb->data. On the other hand, at almost exactly
60-second intervals, an skb arrives that has zero bytes between
skb->head and skb->data. This normally causes a kernel panic, and for
the time I just skip over such skb's.
Does anyone have advice on where I should start digging to find the
cause of this?
Thanks in advance!
