I am writing a network device driver for an IMA
(Inverse Multiplexing for ATM) card in Linux platform.
Since the card is not ready,i would like to call the netif_rx function
directly from driver specific xmit function(for unit testing).
But on doing this , the kernel panics with a message
"Aiee Scheduling Interrupt 0x*****"
Is it because of the bottom handler?
Loopback driver also calls the netif_rx directly from
the loopback_xmit .In this case the above mentioned problem
does not happen.
ie , i guess that the loopback disables the bottom handler.
actually is it that way?
if it is like that, can anybody please give some info
on where actually the loopback driver disables the bottom
handler?
Thanx in advance,
regards,
prakash
