Hi, We've seen a very rare kernel panic in tg3_poll_work on hardware running linux-3.4. I haven't seen any upstream patches that seem to fix this issue in the tg3 driver. The disassembly shows that the panic is happening in tg3_rx which is inlined into tg3_poll_work. In the code below, the "data" pointer seem to be Null,
tg3_recycle_rx(tnapi, tpr, opaque_key, desc_idx, *post_ptr); skb = netdev_alloc_skb(tp->dev, len + TG3_RAW_IP_ALIGN); if (skb == NULL) goto drop_it_no_recycle; skb_reserve(skb, TG3_RAW_IP_ALIGN); pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(tp->pdev, dma_addr, len, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE); memcpy(skb->data, data + TG3_RX_OFFSET(tp), len); pci_dma_sync_single_for_device(tp->pdev, dma_addr, len, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE); I am wondering if anyone has seen this before or if it was fixed and I missed the patch for it. If not, any ideas on how we could end up with data being null? I don't have a reproduction scenario for this one. Thanks, Salam
