Package: linux-image-3.9.5
Version: 3.9.5-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I get "kernel panic - not syncing: Exception occurred in interrupt"
about 25% of time when I unplug or I turn off any device plugged into
my "Marvell Technology" which uses sky2 driver. Mostly what this card
is hooked into my Playstaion 3 that frequently turns on and off 1-3
times a day. I have 2 identical "Marvell Technology" cards with both
having the same problem. I tried several different linux-image
version, linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 and linux-image-3.8-2-amd64, and
linux-image-3.9.5, all have same problem, until I edit sky2.c which
appears to fix the problem.
In linux source kernel, what I changed in sky2.c appears to no longer
panics any more. Before my fix it will kernal panic about 1 to 5 times
of unplug and plug-ins. After my fix it no longer panics after
unplugging and plugging in over 50 times, while at the same time the
links goes up sooner after plugging in with my fix.
I remove 2 lines (starts with "//----") in
linux-3.9.5/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/sky2.c. With both lines
removed, my cards continues to work fine unplugging and plugging in
all my 1000 and 100-only devices, now without seeing no more kernel
panics with my fix.
static void sky2_link_down(struct sky2_port *sky2)
{
struct sky2_hw *hw = sky2->hw;
unsigned port = sky2->port;
u16 reg;
//---- gm_phy_write(hw, port, PHY_MARV_INT_MASK, 0);
reg = gma_read16(hw, port, GM_GP_CTRL);
reg &= ~(GM_GPCR_RX_ENA | GM_GPCR_TX_ENA);
gma_write16(hw, port, GM_GP_CTRL, reg);
netif_carrier_off(sky2->netdev);
/* Turn off link LED */
sky2_write8(hw, SK_REG(port, LNK_LED_REG), LINKLED_OFF);
netif_info(sky2, link, sky2->netdev, "Link is down\n");
//---- sky2_phy_init(hw, port);
}
On my linux system is 5 ethernet (4 cards + 1 on board), and a
wireless card which is used with hostap. 4 of my ethernet plus my
wireless are all bridged as br0. The system is AMD FX-4100 black
edition CPU, with Asus M5-A97-R2.0 motherboard. My linux uses testing
"jessie" for nearly all packages, but "sid" for linux-image and
firmware.
