Subject: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/beacon.c:362 ath9k_beacon_tasklet+0xcc/0x5f0)
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:18:01 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5108AD09.9020308@candelatech.com> (raw)
I hit this warning in ath9k. Shortly after the machine blew up elsewhere,
but not sure if this is to blame or not.
Code is slightly modified 3.7.5 (just a few patches, not my normal mass of hackings!)
The warning that hit is the one below:
bf = ath9k_beacon_generate(sc->hw, vif);
WARN_ON(!bf);
Test case is dual-core Atom system with ath9k NIC, 10 or so virtual stations,
two virtual APs. Two stations send traffic to each other once everything associates, but
not sure it got that far when this crash happened.
