Hi Guys,
Once upon a time on my
x86 UP box, UP kernel 2.4.4, (64M ram, 260M swap)
http://home.sch.bme.hu/~cell/.config
I hit a reproducable "Scheduling in interrupt" BUG.
Also reproduced with 128M ram and low memory pressure
(first I suspected it is related to swapping)
Running lots of pppd version 2.4.0 (pppoe) sessions almost at the same
time.
(before the crash the pppoe sessions work fine)
It crashed after 89 sessions, 473 another time.. (depending
on the phase of Jupiter moons I guess .. I still have to verify this),
usually much before memory is exhausted (30k mem/pppd process).
To do this you have to patch ppp_generic.c
http://x-dsl.hu/~cell/ppp_generic_hash/, because
otherwise we hit 'NULL ptr in all_ppp_units list'
BUG much _more likely_ than this 'sched.c line 709 thingy'..
EIP: c010faa4 <schedule+388/394> <===== sched.c schedule(), line 709:
which is ~ printk("Scheduling in interrupt");BUG();

return 0;
}
What else should I check? How can we fix it?
PPPoE is more and more frequently used nowadays because of ADSL
services. I think this can effect its stability (guess which direction
;-)
even with one session (though probably not that bad as with many
sessions).
Have a nice week:
