Subject: Strange OOPS in 2.6.33


Tried the ppc list but no luck so I figure I should try here instead:

I get this OOPS after coldstarting a
board every now and then:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for unknown fault

This is on a MPC8321 CPU
gcc 3.4.6

Got a bit further, turns out that the dev ptr returned from
dev = FIB_RES_DEV(res) is bogus in ip_dev_find:

struct net_device * ip_dev_find(struct net *net, __be32 addr)
{
	struct flowi fl = { .nl_u = { .ip4_u = { .daddr = addr } } };
	struct fib_result res;
	struct net_device *dev = NULL;
	struct fib_table *local_table;

#ifdef CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
	res.r = NULL;
#endif

	local_table = fib_get_table(net, RT_TABLE_LOCAL);
	if (!local_table || fib_table_lookup(local_table, &fl, &res))
		return NULL;
	if (res.type != RTN_LOCAL)
		goto out;
	dev = FIB_RES_DEV(res);

	if (dev)
		dev_hold(dev);
out:
	fib_res_put(&res);
	return dev;
}

I have no idea how to proceed from here. Problem happens when user space
makes its first access to eth0, in this case ntpdate. It is very hard to repeat
the problem so it feels like a race somewhere in interface bring up

I bring up ethernet at boot with:
~# m /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/mtdblock6 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=192.168.1.16:192.168.1.15:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:off console=ttyS0,115200 debug
