From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 (compatible; Netscape/7.0;) Description of problem: When ejecting a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100+ Modem 56 PCMCIA card (CEM56-100) I get a flurry of OOPS messages and the machine becomes unusable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a Xircom CEM56-100 card 2. Wait for initialization 3. Eject the card (without previously doing cardctl eject) Actual Results: Nonending series of OOPS messages on console and machine becomes unusable. Unfortunately no OOPS get saved on disk. Expected Results: No OOPS and machines continues to work without problem. Additional info: This bug was introduced with the errata kernel 2.4.18-18.8.0 to fix the bug #76233.
I don't get an lockup oops on eject, I get this on the console: vfree(): sleeping in interrupt!! c0317ee0 c022cca0 df12fc00 e1064160 e10641a8 e106b000 df12fc18 c011fd67 df12fc00 c0317f0c c011fec5 c0373434 c0373434 00000000 c03414a0 00000000 00000046 c011c5db c011c4e4 00000000 00000001 c03414c0 fffffffe c011c30b Call Trace: [<e1064160>] xirc2ps_release [xirc2ps_cs] 0x0 (0xc0317eec)) [<e10641a8>] xirc2ps_release [xirc2ps_cs] 0x48 (0xc0317ef0)) [<c011fd67>] timer_bh [kernel] 0x257 (0xc0317efc)) [<c011fec5>] do_timer [kernel] 0x45 (0xc0317f08)) [<c011c5db>] bh_action [kernel] 0x1b (0xc0317f24)) [<c011c4e4>] tasklet_hi_action [kernel] 0x44 (0xc0317f28)) [<c011c30b>] do_softirq [kernel] 0x4b (0xc0317f3c)) [<c0109f2c>] do_IRQ [kernel] 0xbc (0xc0317f54)) [<c010c308>] call_do_IRQ [kernel] 0x5 (0xc0317f68)) [<c0110018>] pcibios_setup [kernel] 0xf8 (0xc0317f88)) [<c0112bbb>] apm_bios_call_simple [kernel] 0x5b (0xc0317f94)) [<c0112ca4>] apm_do_idle [kernel] 0x14 (0xc0317fbc)) [<c0112dd5>] apm_cpu_idle [kernel] 0xc5 (0xc0317fd4)) [<c0106de0>] default_idle [kernel] 0x0 (0xc0317fdc)) [<c0105000>] stext [kernel] 0x0 (0xc0317fe0)) [<c0106e64>] cpu_idle [kernel] 0x24 (0xc0317fe8)) The system acts normally afterwards with no reboot.
I got this problem with previous kernels (see bug #74735), but with the latest update (2.4.18-18.8.0) it gets very much worse: machine becomes unusable.
Hmm, I see. I'm running the latest 7.3 kernel, 2.4.18-18.7.x.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
