SubjectRe: 2.6.34 Crash in dmaengine_put()
From
OK.  This bug occurs if you OR in the IFF_UP flag while creating
virtual interfaces without going through the normal ifup/ifdown
scripts. Looks like a hole. I will post the trace shortly. It's
easy to reproduce, take the dummy net driver, OR in the IFF_UP flag in
dummy_setup, and watch the kernel crash.
