Subject: Re: 2.6.27.18: bnx2/tg3: BUG: "scheduling while atomic" trying to
ifenslave a second interface to my bond
Sorry for the top-post, but I just wanted to add: the system has two
NetXen II interfaces and two NetXen interfaces. I've now tried bonding
all combinations of these interfaces, and regardless of the order they
all fail when the second interface is bonded.
As another data point, if I change the bonding to mode=4 instead, then I
don't get any kernel failures (but of course the bonding doesn't work
properly as the switch is not configured for this).
Is anyone else able to use mode=6 with the bonding driver, or is that
mode just non-functional? Is it something particular to these Broadcom
drivers?
I'm still pretty stumped here and I'd really love some pointers...
thanks!
