http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4441
Summary: unregister_netdevice Prompt and system shell lookup when
trying to shutdown vlan
Kernel Version: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Owner: acme@conectiva.com.br
Submitter: dcmwai@pl.jaring.my
Distribution:
Gentoo, FC2, FC3
Hardware Environment:
Pentium 4 3.0E,
Intel SE7210TP1-E Server Entry Board
512 MB DDR Ram
2x Intel® PRO/1000 Dual Port Adapters
Software Environment:
Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1)
Fc2 and Fc2 original kernel.
Problem Description:
When Shutdown a Vlan using this command
vconfig rem eth4.1001
The interface will be down (using ifconfig)
However the following error will be prompt on the screen and the log leaving the
shell to be not responding.
Even if "ifconfig eth4.1001 down" is run before "vconfig rem" sill the problem
will be there.
The only way I tested on solve this problem is to shutdown the interface totally.
ifconfig eth4 down
Then the vlan can be removed correctly.
This problem don't happen on the following "special Condition"
1) On another motherboard (Gigabyte GA-81PE1000-G) same NIC on Fc3
1) On eth0
Steps to reproduce:
1. get a vlan supported NIC, emerge vconfig
2. ifconfig ethx 0.0.0.0
3. create a vlan using "vconfig add ethx nnnn"
4. ifconfig ethx.nnnn aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
5. remove the vlan using "vconfig rem ethx.nnnn"
6. Wait for the error like the below.
* Motherboard and NIC seem to be a Problem in my case.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethx.nnnn to become free. Usage count = 6
I've also open a bug in Gentoo
