Speaking of 6668816, it doesn't seem to be fixed yet (at least according to the bugreport). I cringe in fear every time I replace a NIC with the same model, but newer PCI revision or move NICs around because of this bug. Could you *please* at least limit the potential damage by making softmac_hold_device(): not call mod_hash_find() in an infinite loop? Infinite loops in the kernel are really, really bad. If a temporary mod_hash_find() failure is rare, as the comment suggests, then limiting the number of times you call mod_hash_find() seems reasonable. Especially if you insert a small sleep delay between calls to mod_hash_find(). Drew _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
