Subject: mal_probe crash
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 15:44:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090107154434.0c9437ef@lappy.seanm.ca> (raw)
With Linus' latest git, mal_probe crashes. It calls netif_napi_add with
the first parameter NULL. This was ok since the parameter, a net
device, was only used if CONFIG_NETPOLL was set.
Now it is always de-referenced. A quick check shows that ibm_newemac is
the only driver that passed NULL as the first parameter to this call in
2.6.28.
I don't really follow ibm_newemac changes, so the patch may be waiting
to be applied. This is really just a heads up.
Cheers,
Sean
