Description Jan Zeleny 2009-05-29 11:23:53 UTC

Description of problem:
Running fcoeadm -i ethx before loading the fcoe module stack results in a
backtrace getting dumped to the screen calling out "fcoeadm: free(): invalid
pointer:".  This occurs if fcoe does not get loaded during boot and an attempt
to view the interface with fcoeadm is made.  It also occurs if the module stack
is unloaded all the way down through scsi_transport_fc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 11 preview, fcoeadm v1.0.7

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
# rmmod fcoe
# rmmod libfc
# fcoeadm -i eth2
# lsmod
# rmmod scsi_transport_fc
# fcoeadm -i eth2

Actual results:
A call trace referenced invalid pointer is printed to console.

Expected results:
Should provide a useful error message rather then a backtrace.
