Subject: PTP + H/W time stamping + CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL == Oops in slab

Hi  All!

Recently  I successfully  integrated a certain
(http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=503885) open source
implementation of PTP protocol with Linux  3.0.1 running on ARM based
SoC. Since Phy  (Phyter DP 83640) on board  supported  H/W time
stamping support I am using for that for the same. Integration worked
smoothly  until I applied RT patch and enabled full preemption
(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL).

After applying RT patch and enabling full preemption  I start getting
oops in slab allocator. I did some goggling  but got mixed results.
Some of the articles says slabs are not stable with RT patch while the
code comments in slab allocator says its preemption safe. Since I am
getting this oops only while running PTP client I am not certain if
its slab corruption issue (network traffic running smoothly).  I did
little debugging and I figure out that If I comment out h/w time
stamping in TX buy commenting out  skb_tx_timestamp from  network
drivers ndo_start_xmit function I am not getting any oops. Moreover if
I run ptp as high priority rt thread ,again I am not egtting nay oops.
Now I am got little confused as there are too many black boxes to
debug.  With RT patch, slabs, network driver, PTP client  I am not
sure which way to go. I am just wondering If anyone tried what I am
doing and came across similar issues. Or if anyone well verse in
either of these subsystem can help me eliminate some of the
possibilities.

I am not sure if this is the right mailing list. If anyone know better
forum please direct me to that.  Appreciate your patience and time.
