Re: EIP Errors kernel 2.6.18 .AND hard lockup ...

Ok, first IANAKP (I am not a kernel programmer ) ;-> ...
But, just got another hard lockup and EIP code ...

I am not sure why this should got to nVidia (Please, I
personally know the Head of nVidias' Linux driver development,
so if it is a nVidia problem, I can help there).

Anway,

EIP shows :

desktop kernel: CPU: 0
desktop kernel: EIP: 0060:[<c01ba714>] Tainted: P VLI
EFLAGS: 00010046 (2.6.18 #1)

With current system map showing:

c01ba3cc t radix_tree_node_alloc
c01ba416 T radix_tree_preload
c01ba475 t radix_tree_extend
c01ba4ff T radix_tree_insert
c01ba5fc T radix_tree_lookup_slot
c01ba651 T radix_tree_lookup
c01ba6aa T radix_tree_tag_set
c01ba74c T radix_tree_tag_clear
c01ba81a t __lookup
c01ba906 T radix_tree_gang_lookup

The "radix lookup" seems to be occuring inside of the radix_tree_tag_set
and in particular the pdflush routine.

fgrep'ing kernel shows this is in the lib/radix-tree routine ..

To me seems to be a PDFLUSH eip and the nvidia stuff is just
a by product of loaded modules, no?

Thnaks ..
