Hi,

I was facing a strange problem in the BF533 uClinux. This is observed after i insert a WLAN driver module. (the same code if i try to use it as builtin driver we are not seeing this issue).

For most of the network related commands (like ifconfig etc) i am seeing the following error. Also the system recovers after 20-30 sec and can work normally.

Please do let me know what can be the potential issue

likely some code in the driver is spinning for an inordinate amount of time without scheduling ... if you have JTAG, you can profile where the kernel is spinning during this hang

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info. Infact we did locate the place where it is getting looped.

The scenario is as follows.

bringup eth0 interface (SMSC 9215)

bringdown eth0 interface

insert WLAN driver module. this will comeup in eth1

bringup eth1 interface (WLAN)

after this any ifconfig operation done the code is getting looped in smsc911x_get_stats() function. This is called from dev->get_stats() from the stack.

Have anyone faced such as issue. Any pointers on debugging will be very helpful.

thanks

tinku
