Description Lorenz Kiefner 2004-03-12 15:43:26 UTC
i am using mm-sources 2.6.4-r1.
the sbp2 module generates a memory access error ("speicherzugriffsfehler" on german) after logging out of the device on unloading. it works fine if the module was not in use, but if a partition was mounted on the external disc, the module crashes every time on unloading. this problem didn't exist before version 2.6.4-rc1, but i didn't test the versions 2.6.4-rc2 and 2.6.4.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug in firewire-disc. /dev/sda1 is created.
2. mount /dev/sda1, use it, unmount it.
3. do a rmmod sbp2. the device is powered down and the module crashes. it isn't unloaded, but unusable.

Actual Results:  
lsmod shows sbp2 still in the list of loaded modules, but it is unusable.


dmesg shows:

ieee1394: sbp2: Logged out of SBP-2 device

Comment 1 Jason Cox (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-13 13:04:41 UTC
Could you try a vanilla kernel or a newer mm kernel? Preferably one based off of 2.6.5 if you don't mind.
Comment 2 Jason Cox (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-13 22:05:00 UTC
Not hearing anything back. No need for this to be open still.
Comment 3 Lorenz Kiefner 2004-04-14 00:40:58 UTC
2.6.5-mm1 works fine.
