Sometime this afternoon my alpha running 2.1.17 dereferenced a NULL pointer at:
(gdb) l *0xfffffc000036eb90 0xfffffc000036eb90 is in ip_queue_xmit (ip_output.c:366). 361 kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE); 362 return; 363 } 364 #endif 365 366 if (skb_headroom(skb) < dev->hard_header_len && dev->hard_header) { 367 struct sk_buff *skb2; 368 /* ANK: It is almost impossible, but 369 * if you loaded module device with hh_len > MAX_HEADER, 370 * and if a route changed to this device,
in which dev was NULL. The oops' return address is garbage.
The network devices in use were eth0 and ppp0; the ppp link may have just gone down.
