Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:06:13 +0100 From: Pedro Francisco <pedrogfrancisco@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: ath5k misbehaving affecting other kernel parts unrelated? Greetings! Is it possible a faulty ath5k module to affect diverse parts of kernel causing different oopses to happen referencing things as different as cdrom_ioctl, find_vma, i915_gem_object_get_pages, get_vfs_caps_from_disk, warn_slowpath_common (ath5k_tasklet_rx), proc_lookup_de and _spin_lock(ext4_getattr) [soft lookup]? The task in which such errors happen is capturing packets with kismet during the night. The errors aren't easy to create, sometimes they've already happened when I check the computer in the morning and sometimes they require stirring up the computer a bit such as starting X. I memtested the machine during 7h and no error was detected. I've been trying different kernels but main one is 2.6.32-21-generic, Ubuntu flavour, with linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic installed. I would use 2.6.34-rc5 vanilla if shutdown and suspend worked ;) As such: a) is it "normal"? I thought modules were somewhat isolated these days. b) any advices for debugging? I've yet to have two oopses that are similar....
