2011-06-15 03:54:19     Core dump on WARN_ON()

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use mmc_spi driver from the release 2010R1-RC5

I am compiling with 2010R1-RC4 toolchain.

As a result I got a core dump on the SD  card detection, which after some investigation

appear to happen at the following line in ./drivers/mmc/core/core.c

void mmc_set_clock(struct mmc_host *host, unsigned int hz)

{

      WARN_ON(hz < host->f_min); //<---- problematic line

        if (hz > host->f_max)

                hz = host->f_max;

        host->ios.clock = hz;

        printk(KERN_INFO "In set_clock");

        mmc_set_ios(host);

}

I haven't investigated further if the warning condition is true but getting core dump is already strange to me.

WARN_ON seems to be defined in ./arch/blackfin/include/asm/bug.h using inline assembly code.

Is there some special care have to be taken so WARN_ON behaves better?

My compilation line is:

kernel WARN_ON()'s do not cause core dumps, nor does Blackfin even support core dumps, so there's no way you could have dumped core

please post the exact platform resources you're using as well as the full boot output you're seeing

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the response!

Oh its probably not the core dump what I am observing , please see below

I've already sloved my other issue so the WARN_ON() is getting input 'false' as input argument

and things are going well.

Can you please point me to some information about the normal behaviour of WARN_ON(1) on blakfin platforms.

Lets assume standard uClinux on the BF537 Stamp board.

WARN_ON() behaves the same way as all architectures.  if the arg returns true, then dump stack/state information into the kernel log.  i'm not sure what you're looking for.
