bug in __tcp_inherit_port ?

2001-07-01 Thread Bulent Abali
I get an occasional panic in __tcp_inherit_port(sk,child). I believe the reason is tb=sk->prev is NULL. sk->prev is set to NULL in only few places including __tcp_put_port(sk). Perhaps there is a serialization problem between __tcp_inherit_port and __tcp_put_port ??? One possibility is that s

Justin, Your patch works for me. printk "Temporary Resource Shortage" has to go, or may be you can make it a debug option. Here is the cleaned up patch for 2.4.5-ac15 with TAILQ macros replaced with LIST macros. Thanks for the help. Bulent --- aic7xxx_linux.c.save Mon Jun 18 20:25:35 2001

Justin, When free memory is low, I get a series of aic7xxx messages followed by panic. It appears to be a race condition in the code. Should you panic? I tried the following patch to not panic. But I am not sure if it is functionally correct. Bulent scsi0: Temporary Resource Shortage scsi0:
