Hi,

sorry for the delay. The Kernel Summit made a pretty busy time out of
the last weeks...

I found one of my drivers was crashing when DTV USB stick was
plugged. Patch in that mail patch fixes the problem.

Well, if you have a parent, it should be set. This is always a good
idea. Can't really tell why not having it causes the BUG, though.

I quickly looked possible I2C patches causing the problem and saw
that one as most suspicions:

commit 3923172b3d700486c1ca24df9c4c5405a83e2309
i2c: reduce parent checking to a NOOP in non-I2C_MUX case

Did you try reverting it? I am not sure this is the one.

Nope, not to mentio bisect. I have done bisect few times and I am not going to waste whole day of compiling and booting new kernels.

Crash disappeared whit that little patch. I did also some DVB USB core changes for 3.12, but I cannot see it could be root of cause that crash.


i2c i2c-6: adapter [RTL2830 tuner I2C adapter] registered
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000220
IP: [<ffffffffa0002900>] i2c_register_adapter+0x130/0x390 [i2c_core]

Can we have the full BUG output?

See attachement.

Anyway, I am going to ask Mauro to merge that I2C parent patch and maybe try to sent it stable too as it is likely a bit too late for 3.12 RC.


regards
Antti
