Just to be clear, this crash is only from *reading* the agg_status files. I don't know if the crashiness reduces when disabling the aggregation timeouts, since that's a separate bug (in which the queue gets stuck and the 'pending' column of this file just keeps increasing). I'll try twiddling some options again tomorrow and see if I can get one with proper debug symbols. For what it's worth, this platform is "ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)" and the gcc build is made for Cortex A9. You can find an x86 build of our toolchain in the git repo at https://gfiber.googlesource.com/toolchains/mindspeed. Thanks for looking into it :) Avery _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
