This test scenario has 72 stations on ath5k trying to connect to a cisco AP that supposedly only supports 63 stations. The 72 STA were created without ssid's configured, then we re-configured all 72 'at once' to give them the proper SSID (ifdown, ifup, iwconfig to set values). The system crashed and rebooted. Kernel is wireless-testing as of later yesterday, with a few additional patches mostly dealing with counters in /proc/net/wireless and some lockdep fixes pulled in from lkml etc. We have seen this before, but this is the first good stacktrace we got. Likely we can reproduce this if extra information is needed. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /home/greearb/git/linux.wireless-testing/lib/list_debug.c:48 list_del+0x24/0xab() Hardware name: PDSM4+ list_del corruption, next is LIST_POISON1 (00100100) Modules linked in: xt_CT iptable_raw ipt_addrtype xt_DSCP xt_dscp xt_string xt_owner xt_NFQUEUE xt_multiport xt_mark xt_ipra] Pid: 27077, comm: kworker/u:1 Not tainted 2.6.36-rc6-wl+ #6 Call Trace: [<c04345cb>] warn_slowpath_common+0x65/0x7a [<c058f3c8>] ? list_del+0x24/0xab [<c0434644>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x26/0x2a [<c058f3c8>] list_del+0x24/0xab [<fac52fed>] cfg80211_unlink_bss+0x4e/0x7d [cfg80211] [<fb8aa464>] ieee80211_work_work+0x562/0xcfa [mac80211] [<c0443cea>] ? process_one_work+0x145/0x295 [<c0443d34>] process_one_work+0x18f/0x295 [<c0443cea>] ? process_one_work+0x145/0x295 [<fb8a9f02>] ? ieee80211_work_work+0x0/0xcfa [mac80211] [<c044535d>] worker_thread+0xf9/0x1b8 [<c0445264>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x1b8 [<c0447ca7>] kthread+0x62/0x67 [<c0447c45>] ? kthread+0x0/0x67 [<c0403506>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x1a ---[ end trace 378943e5dc829f28 ]--- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00200200 IP: [<c058f3f8>] list_del+0x54/0xab *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.2/0000:03:01.0/ieee80211/phy0/macaddress Modules linked in: xt_CT iptable_raw ipt_addrtype xt_DSCP xt_dscp xt_string xt_owner xt_NFQUEUE xt_multiport xt_mark xt_ipra] -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
