For drivers, it's always good idea to (re)initialize the hardware prior to requesting interrupts. This patch fixes the following oops: Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] MPC86xx HPCD NIP: c0172820 LR: c017287c CTR: 00000000 [...] NIP [c0172820] allocate_rx_buffer+0x2c/0xb0 LR [c017287c] allocate_rx_buffer+0x88/0xb0 Call Trace: [df82bdc0] [c017287c] allocate_rx_buffer+0x88/0xb0 (unreliable) [df82bde0] [c0173000] uli526x_interrupt+0xe4/0x49c [df82be20] [c0045418] request_irq+0xf0/0x114 [df82be50] [c01737b0] uli526x_open+0x48/0x160 [df82be70] [c0201184] dev_open+0xb0/0xe8 [df82be80] [c0200104] dev_change_flags+0x90/0x1bc [df82bea0] [c035fab0] ip_auto_config+0x214/0xef4 [df82bf60] [c03421c8] kernel_init+0xc4/0x2ac [df82bff0] [c0010834] kernel_thread+0x44/0x60 Instruction dump: 4e800020 9421ffe0 7c0802a6 bfa10014 7c7e1b78 90010024 80030060 83e30054 2b80002f 419d0078 3fa0c039 48000058 <907f0010> 80630088 2f830000 419e0014 Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- diff --git a/drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c b/drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c index a59c1f224a..1f077ac9b0 100644 --- a/drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c +++ b/drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c @@ -434,10 +434,6 @@ static int uli526x_open(struct net_device *dev) ULI526X_DBUG(0, "uli526x_open", 0); - ret = request_irq(dev->irq, &uli526x_interrupt, IRQF_SHARED, dev->name, dev); - if (ret) - return ret; - /* system variable init */ db->cr6_data = CR6_DEFAULT | uli526x_cr6_user_set; db->tx_packet_cnt = 0; @@ -456,6 +452,10 @@ static int uli526x_open(struct net_device *dev) /* Initialize ULI526X board */ uli526x_init(dev); + ret = request_irq(dev->irq, &uli526x_interrupt, IRQF_SHARED, dev->name, dev); + if (ret) + return ret; + /* Active System Interface */ netif_wake_queue(dev);
