I'm stuck with a network oops, perhaps someone could help me:
the actual oops happens in sock_def_writable because the magic value of
skb->sk->wait is 0.
I think I tracked it back to sock_release():
The network driver is drivers/net/hamradio/scc.c, the protocol is ax25,
the application is ulistd.
Only "good" [skb->sk->wait->__magic correct] packets are added to
scc->tx_queue [line 1732, scc_net_tx], but later a bad packet is
dequeued in scc_txint [line 401].
I assume the socket was closed, and thus the inode was cleared.
[clean_inode, fs/inode.c]
My questions are:
* any other ideas what could have caused the oops? The oops first
appeared in 2.3.99-pre3, pre2 was ok. 2.4.0test1-ac4 oopsed.
* what should happen to pending packets if their socket is closed?
I'm not subscribed to the mailing lists, please cc.
Thanks,
Manfred
