Hi Andreas,
It does look like a bug. I have traced it to a line in the e1000 driver:
e1000_main-2.6.37-ethercat.c
the e1000_open call works fine up to and including
e1000_irq_enable(adapter) but we get the NULL pointer reference in
netif_start_queue(netdev);
A snippet from the objdump:
------
6a28: 8b 40 08 mov 0x8(%eax),%eax
netif_schedule_queue(netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, i));
}
static inline void netif_tx_start_queue(struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
clear_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
6a2b: 8b 83 c0 01 00 00 mov 0x1c0(%ebx),%eax
6a31: f0 80 60 08 fe lock andb $0xfe,0x8(%eax)
--------
It looks like the NULL pointer is used in the clear_bit call but I dont
know why the netdev_get_tx_queue() wouldn't return a good value?
I would like to help fix this if possible.
Regards,
Wm
