Greetings,
i am having problems using the xilinx_gige driver under linux 2.4.26 running
on a Virtex-4 FX12 Mini Module board (from avnet). I am using the plb_temac
and hard_temac blocks under ISE/EDK 8.1.02.
the machine boots fine and the network interface seems to work okay but it
randomly panics sometimes (rather quickly if i'm generating network traffic):

Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
<0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..
it always causes a trap on the same instruction (c00da340) which is inside of
XTemac_IntrFifoHandler()
c00da330: 81 6a 00 28 lwz r11,40(r10)
c00da334: 0c 0b 00 00 twi 0,r11,0
c00da338: 4c 00 01 2c isync
c00da33c: 81 2a 00 20 lwz r9,32(r10)
c00da340: 0c 09 00 00 twi 0,r9,0
c00da344: 4c 00 01 2c isync
this code corresponds to two consecutive in_be32() calls
extern inline unsigned in_be32(volatile unsigned *addr)
{
unsigned ret;
__asm__ __volatile__("lwz%U1%X1 %0,%1;\n"
"twi 0,%0,0;\n"
"isync" : "=r" (ret) : "m" (*addr));
return ret;
}
resulting from this line of code:
CorePending = XTemac_mGetIpifReg(XTE_IPIER_OFFSET) &
XTemac_mGetIpifReg(XTE_IPISR_OFFSET);
i recently got a new mini module that has the later stepping of the V4FX12
part (PVR 20011470) so I got rid of the patch i had applied to disable the
caches (which was required on the earlier stepping of the part to get the
board to even boot reliably).
I still have the patch applied which sets bits 1 and 3 in the CCR0 register.
does anyone have any clue as to what's going on and what to do about it ?
this problem seems rather non-deterministic and weird, i can't help but think
its likely related to some silicon errata or something but nothing on this
page

seems to apply
any advice is very greatly appreciated !
