Kerneloops report.

Description of problem:

When I try to manually associate to lirc my iMon 2.4G remote on F10 (see http://www.lirc.org/html/imon-24g.html) I get a kernel "oops" popup, and of course the association process fails.

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

Latest packages on fedora and fedora-updates: lirc version 0.8.4a and kernel 
2.6.27.5.117

How reproducible:

Always (but only once for each fresh boot).

Steps to Reproduce:

Just follow the procedure linked above:

1. open two root terminals
2. start lirc (/etc/init.d/lirc start) [terminal 1]
3. start irw [terminal 2]
4. find /sys -name associate_remote [terminal 1]
5. echo > (output of previous command) [terminal 1]
6. push some buttons on the remote and watch the output of irw [terminal 2]
  
Actual results:

I get the kernel "oops" popup and the association process fails. Lirc dies as well.

Expected results:

irw should output the codes of the buttons pressed (taken from lircd.conf), indicating that the association process worked.

Additional info:

Attached kerneloops report.

        if (!context->tx_control) {
                pipe = usb_sndintpipe(context->dev,
===>                                  context->tx_endpoint->bEndpointAddress);
                interval = context->tx_endpoint->bInterval;

context->tx_endpoint is NULL

I see what's going on, and I think I have a fix...

http://git.wilsonet.com//linux-2.6-lirc.git?a=commitdiff;h=e73cb11b344234b45bb9450b3c2c1d39574bb473

Will push into rawhide and F11 Real Soon Now. F10 might be more time and effort than I can put in at the moment...
Comment 3 Giulio Amodeo 2009-06-17 07:49:17 UTC 
Awesome, thank you Jarod!

I will let you know if everything works out, I should update to F11 any day now.
Comment 4 Jarod Wilson 2009-06-17 18:13:20 UTC 
Just committed new imon code to F10 (kernel-2.6.29.5-86.fc10), F11 (kernel-2.6.29.5-192.fc11) and rawhide (kernel-2.6.30-10.fc12) that carries this fix.
Comment 5 Jarod Wilson 2009-08-30 04:59:04 UTC 
Pretty sure this should be good to go on all the above kernels and later, closing.
