Subject: "Kernel bug detected" when using pktgen together with mac80211_hwsim
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 17:31:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201012021731.09440.helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> (raw)
Hi,
In order to get some reasonable numbers on how single patches improve/degrade
performance of mac80211 I wanted to run pktgen on a mac80211_hwsim interface.
Unfortunately pktgen keeps a reference to the skb and thus pskb_expand_head
triggers a BUG when called from mac80211. I worked around that issue by adding
a skb_copy for shared skbs.
Maybe, someone else has a better idea on how to fix that?
Here's the stack trace.
