Subject: [PATCH] 8390: Don't oops on starting dev queue
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:01:02 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC93BCE.4020303@parallels.com> (raw)
The __NS8390_init tries to start the device queue before the
device is registered. This results in an oops (snipped):

This happens because the netif_start_queue sets respective bit on the dev->_tx
array which is not yet allocated.
As far as I understand the code removing the netif_start_queue from __NS8390_init
is OK, since queue will be started later on device open. Plz, correct me if I'm wrong.
Found in the Dave's current tree, so he's in Cc.
