I will debug this crash.
At this point, my concern is not about debugging this particular
issue but whether to commit to our customers or not about the binary
compatibility of FreeBSD X.0 drivers with all FreeBSD X.Y OS versions.
I would like to stay safe and tell the customers to build the
drivers on their respective revisions unless you folks think that
the binary compatibility is maintained very strictly and this is one
of those rare bugs.
this is supposed to be possible but whether it actually is depends to
some extent on whether the code in question is considered likely to
be directly callable by a third party module. Most interfaces that are
likely to be called from network and storage drivers willb e very
stable, as will scheduler interfaces and things like task queues and
thread creation. the more esoteric the more likely that an
incompatibility can be committed and not caught.
Please let me know.
well, what are you doing?
Thanks,
Venkat.

I have this setup where FreeBSD 9.0 OCE driver is loaded on
FreeBSD 9.3. The OCE module loads just fine but when the
interface is brought up, the system crashes. This happens
everytime I bring the interface up.
The backtraces are attached with this email.
However, if I build the same driver on 9.3, everything works
just fine.
then that is a bug.
Unfortunately I'm not your man for helping you find it at the
moment.
Do you now how to run a kernel under GDB?
(either in a VM or with serial console (or firewire if you have
it))
There is a handbook section on doing this.
You might look at trying to see what actually goes wrong with
the help of GDB.
