This kernel has my patches and my proprietary module (which is not in use, but
still taints the kernel). I doubt my patches would influence this splat,
but it's always possible.
The warning is the one below:
static inline s8
rate_lowest_index(struct ieee80211_supported_band *sband,
struct ieee80211_sta *sta)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < sband->n_bitrates; i++)
if (rate_supported(sta, sband->band, i))
return i;
/* warn when we cannot find a rate. */
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
/* and return 0 (the lowest index) */
return 0;
}
Not sure how easy it is to reproduce..this was during boot up of a system
with 400 virtual stations....
