The analysis is correct. I suggest using upstream commit 92715e282be7c7488f892703c8d39b08976a833b instead. P. Created attachment 273831 [details]

I am having some issues with one of my device drivers in SUSE. when my system boots up everything seems to be fine. But when I do dmesg some where in the log it shows me the same message NMI seems to be stuck. Nothing is wromg till now but as soon as i plug in my device driver and start reading stuff from that kernel gets hang and the error comes is Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: <ffffffff802ea868>{_spin_lock_irqsave+3} I changed the file nmi.c which you mentioned but the message NMI seems to be stuck doesnt go away. I checked my kernel version and it 2.6.16. so i am not sure whether this is kernel issue or driver issue. I will really appreciate if you give me some guidelines what to do. Thanks Arun Mittal |
