Description Stuart Auchterlonie 2015-09-24 08:49:40 UTC
Created attachment 1076404 [details]
full stacktrace

Description of problem:

The PCTV 292e DVB-T2 stick requires the si2168 driver to function.
That driver in turn needs to load several firmware blobs into the
stick.

When the driver attempts to load 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
the kernel crashes with a stack protection error

[  806.649970] si2168 11-0064: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168-B40'
[  806.660504] si2168 11-0064: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
[  806.667441] si2168 11-0064: firmware download failed -95
[  806.667464] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffa085708f

I'll add the full backtrace as an attachment, and I have a vmcore
available on request.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-4.1.7-200.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert stick into usb port, observe kernel detect it.
2. Attempt to scan for tv channels, which triggers a firmware load
3. crash....

Actual results:

System crashes

Expected results:

System does not crash, firmware loads successfully, and stick
is useable

I've also tried running the debug kernel to provide better information on this crash, however it crashed without dropping a vmcore
