+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #585072 +++ Description of problem: Right after I tried to connect to my wireless network (successfully), I came with a kerneloops error. (I reported this once on Fedora 12 too, but at first I thought it had something to do with VirtualBox). How reproducible: Simply connected to my wireless network, and abrt said there was a kerneloops.

Sometimes with firefox running. VirtualBox would be a good candidate. Basically anything that uses CPU. I get a similar kernel oops when waking up from suspend https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15839 In the latter case, Xorg is hogging CPU cycles. The common thread seems to be CPU usage. --- Additional comment from linville on 2010-04-27 15:16:17 EDT --- I suspect this relates to an earlier patch which fixed a lockdep warning. I have reverted that patch in the test kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2141465 Could you give those a try and see if the oops you are seeing disappears? --- Additional comment from nospam on 2010-04-27 16:32:44 EDT --- The kernel oops stopped happening yesterday after reporting it and has not returned. tail yum.log Apr 25 15:00:08 Updated: nautilus-2.30.0-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:09 Updated: nautilus-extensions-2.30.0-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:11 Updated: libchamplain-0.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:12 Updated: libchamplain-gtk-0.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:13 Updated: schroedinger-1.0.9-2.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:26 Updated: gcalctool-5.30.0-2.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:28 Updated: taglib-1.6.3-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:29 Updated: prelink-0.4.3-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:31 Updated: telepathy-butterfly-0.5.9-1.fc13.noarch Apr 27 01:11:50 Installed: gpm-libs-1.20.6-9.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 01:11:52 Installed: nss_compat_ossl-0.9.6-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 01:11:53 Installed: 1:links-2.2-12.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 08:36:26 Installed: lshw-B.02.14-3.fc12.x86_64 --- Additional comment from dmaxel on 2010-04-27 18:55:28 EDT --- Went ahead and installed kernel-2.6.33.2-68.bz585072.fc13.i686.rpm and kernel-headers-2.6.33.2-68.bz585072.fc13.i686.rpm...so far there are no more errors/oopses, but I only have it installed for about 20 minutes, so I'll need to use it a bit longer before I can say for sure. --- Additional comment from dmaxel on 2010-04-27 19:49:47 EDT --- OK, suggestion that I tried out seems to work...no more kernel oops problems. --- Additional comment from linville on 2010-04-28 09:45:50 EDT --- Alright, that at least points at the problem -- unfortunately, that patch was also fixing a problem. Hopefully we can find a solution for both issues... --- Additional comment from linville on 2010-04-28 10:41:45 EDT --- Scratch that last comment -- it looks like that patch was mistakenly backported to the stable kernel series for 2.6.33... --- Additional comment from dmaxel on 2010-04-28 12:05:52 EDT --- So that means that the patch is no longer needed? So removing it would still have both problems solved? --- Additional comment from linville on 2010-04-28 13:29:12 EDT --- Yes -- that is to say that applying my patch to revert the other should resolve the issue you reported here while avoiding the problem that the problematic patch was intended to solve. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=169229 --- Additional comment from updates on 2010-04-28 14:16:45 EDT --- kernel-2.6.33.3-72.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.33.3-72.fc13

I think my problem is more accurately described by this bug:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544497 but that bug has been closed and I was referred to this bug. I am using fedora 12 on an atom based system that uses an Atheros AR9285 wireless card (so ath9k driver) and trying to configure as an access point using hostapd 0.6.9-7 (also have tried 0.7.2). I've also tried updating the ath9k driver using compat-wireless with no help. I've tried this updated kernel (kernel-2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686), the good news is that I don't get the kernel crash report in the messages log. The bad news is that I still loose wireless connectivity (just no reports in the log) or the system just totally locks up and becomes unresponsive. Here's what I get in the main-line (kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686): May 6 11:10:25 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 _local_bh_enable_ip+0x3b/0x77() May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: Hardware name: nT-330i May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: Modules linked in: aes_i586 aes_generic ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat nf_nat ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_filter ip6_tables ipv6 snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek arc4 snd_hda_intel ecb snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep ath9k snd_seq snd_seq_device mac80211 snd_pcm snd_timer snd ath soundcore cfg80211 wmi i2c_nforce2 serio_raw snd_page_alloc atl1c rfkill usb_storage nouveau ttm drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: Pid: 1281, comm: hostapd Not tainted 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686 #1 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: Call Trace: May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c043a479>] warn_slowpath_common+0x6a/0x81 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0440da3>] ? _local_bh_enable_ip+0x3b/0x77 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c043a4a2>] warn_slowpath_null+0x12/0x15 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0440da3>] _local_bh_enable_ip+0x3b/0x77 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0440dec>] local_bh_enable_ip+0xd/0xf May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c079383b>] _spin_unlock_bh+0x13/0x15 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb10254e>] ath_tx_node_cleanup+0xf3/0x10b [ath9k] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c041fe00>] ? native_irq_disable+0x8/0xb May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c058917b>] ? selinux_netlink_recv+0x58/0x73 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb0fe9d2>] ath9k_sta_notify+0x79/0x7d [ath9k] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb07b345>] __sta_info_unlink+0x11e/0x16e [mac80211] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb0fe959>] ? ath9k_sta_notify+0x0/0x7d [ath9k] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb07b3bd>] sta_info_unlink+0x28/0x36 [mac80211] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb08636d>] ? ieee80211_del_station+0x0/0x52 [mac80211] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fb0863a6>] ieee80211_del_station+0x39/0x52 [mac80211] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<fab877c8>] nl80211_del_station+0x70/0x92 [cfg80211] May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0722978>] genl_rcv_msg+0x1a7/0x1c4 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c07227d1>] ? genl_rcv_msg+0x0/0x1c4 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0721afe>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x35/0x7b May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c07227ca>] genl_rcv+0x20/0x27 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0721920>] netlink_unicast+0xec/0x149 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0721fd3>] netlink_sendmsg+0x21b/0x228 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06fde28>] __sock_sendmsg+0x4a/0x53 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06fe4a1>] sock_sendmsg+0xbb/0xd1 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06fe4a1>] ? sock_sendmsg+0xbb/0xd1 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0454371>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c05be4bf>] ? might_fault+0x1e/0x20 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c05be4f3>] ? copy_from_user+0x32/0x119 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c0706052>] ? verify_iovec+0x43/0x71 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06fe643>] sys_sendmsg+0x18c/0x1f0 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04870c3>] ? call_rcu_sched+0x12/0x14 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04870d2>] ? call_rcu+0xd/0xf May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c05bae57>] ? radix_tree_delete+0xe5/0x171 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c05020ef>] ? fsnotify_clear_marks_by_inode+0x21/0xa2 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06fd79d>] ? sock_destroy_inode+0x15/0x17 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04eae64>] ? destroy_inode+0x24/0x35 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04e88d6>] ? __d_free+0x3d/0x40 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04e8903>] ? d_free+0x2a/0x3c May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c04ee3f0>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x1e/0xba May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c06ff97b>] sys_socketcall+0x163/0x195 May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c040abae>] ? syscall_trace_leave+0xaa/0xbd May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: [<c040365c>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb May 6 11:10:25 localhost kernel: ---[ end trace fb82fbc53375f354 ]--- May 6 11:10:31 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 IEEE 802.11: authenticated May 6 11:10:31 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) May 6 11:10:31 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 RADIUS: starting accounting session 4BE2E796-00000001 May 6 11:10:31 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) May 6 11:20:22 localhost hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:18:f3:49:f5:d2 WPA: group key handshake completed (RSN) Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to help figure out what is causing the problem.
Ok, this is frustrating.. Now TWO bugs that have to do with the issues i'm having have been closed and it's still not working for me. Am I not doing something correctly when I post to the bug since there was no response to my last post and the bug was just closed without any type of resolution that I can see??? Thanks, Ron
Ron, you need to ensure that your comments are pertinent to the bug where you make them. In the first case, you commented in bug 544497 about what seems to have been the same issue as the one that prompted this bug. So, I asked you to test -115.fc12 and comment on this bug. In comment 3, you seem to confirm that -115.fc12 resovle the issue for you ("the good news is that I don't get the kernel crash report in the messages log"). Unfortunately, you went on to comment about an issue that is not at all clearly related. Rather than discussing the other issue here, you would be better off opening a new bug for that issue.
John, Thanks for your response. I think the issue is still releated, but that the system is crashing harder and therefore no logging happens, I think my post wasn't clear on that. Basically the same thing happens that happened before but the system just locks up. I'll do as you suggest and open a new bug, I'm just not sure what I'll post since the logs (as far as I can tell) aren't giving any useful information.
2.6.33.5-112.fc13.x86_64 x86_64 is working great for me, Ron, aside from the usual Xorg slowness recovering from suspend. It reconnects to wireless and does not crash. I know it's a whale of a solution, but perhaps you could try upgrading to F13.
