Hello Yuval,

Thanks for this messages.

We use now the kernel 3.10.57 and then the interface working, only we must back to the kernel we always use 3.2.63 , its work better with use systems. I have compiler the kernel by my self on a Suse system.

I hope we can fix it, that this working with the kernel 3.2.63.

You can try netdev again, or you should try with the distro bugzillas

Btw,
You can supply `ethtool -i' output on one of the interfaces to see whether the

Well,
There is actually a WARN_ON in line 8886, and that warning was later removed for newer boards.
Please try removing it and changing to the code in bnx2x_get_igu_cam_info() from upstream kernel, and see what's
next.

Hi Stefan,
Are you using a Big-Endian machine?
Regardless, I don't really have anything 'good' to tell you - the code you've given me is the same as the one I've looked at, and line
9410 doesn't
really include anything that should produce a warn [at most, a NULL pointer dereference].
Quoted 4 lines
Regardless, if you can - you can try to replace the implementation of
bnx2x_set_mac_buf() in your kernel in bnx2x_main.c with the one from more
modern kernels; [It doesn't pass address of parameters to the function] and see if it solves your issue.

Hello Yuval,
Correct i use 32bits machine
3.2.63 #1 SMP Mon Oct 27 11:22:59 CET 2014 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
I have added new files. objdump i have run this command in
the bnx2x dir from the kernel source, i hope thats is oke ?
Thanks,
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
2 things:
1. For some reason the source files I'm looking at don't
look the same as
yours.
If you can, please tarball me the bnx2x directory from the
kernel sources
you've compile and send it to me.
2. objdump doesn't contain the source code; Are you sure
you've used
`objdump -S' as opposed to simple `objdump' when generating it?
3. Just to be certain, you're using a 32-bit machine, right?
[Don't know if it's related, but it's rare enough that I
should consider it when I look at the issue]
Thanks,
Yuval

Hello Yuval,
Do you have received my file's good ? I am not sure..
Thanks,
Hi Stefan,
Just looked into 3.2.63 [Saber-toothed Squirrel] sources,
and
bnx2x_main:9410 doesn't look as if it contains any code
that can throw a
stack trace, Nor is it a [direct] part of bnx2x_init_one.
Perhaps you can send the output of `objdump -S bnx2x.ko',
so I could take a
look at the place the stack trace points as the source of the issue?
Cheers,
Yuval
