Subject: Re: BNX2: Kernel crashes with 2.6.31 and 2.6.31.9
Hi Bruno,
It looks like the the NULL dereference is happening at a0fc.
a0f8: 48 8b 42 70 mov 0x70(%rdx),%rax
a0fc: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%rax),%edx
a0ff: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
The offset of 0x70 is the bp field in the bnx2_napi structure. (Seen in
the bnx2_napi structure dump below) These lines are found in the
routine, bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons() which look like they were inlined by the
compiler. More specifically it looks like the dereference of the
hw_tx_cons_ptr failed.
cons = *bnapi->hw_tx_cons_ptr;
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/bnx2.c;h=06b901152d4487fa04164437cc179661b44657fe;hb=74fca6a42863ffacaf7ba6f1936a9f228950f657#l2761
To be sure this is the case, could you send the .config file you are
using or if you could send me the bnx2 kernel module built with the
CFLAG '-g', then we can definitely verify where in the code it is
crashing.
Did you see anything suspicious in the system kernel logs? If you could
isolate the logs from when the machine booted to when it crash and send
it to us it would be very helpful.
Thanks again for your time.
-Ben
