From
Subjectoops when adding bridge interface, using v2.5.45
Date
Hello,

Ever since I've been using the bridge with a 2.5 kernel I've been having a
non-fatal oops when adding a bridge interface: adding a bridge works, then
adding a first interface gives the oops below, adding a second interface
works. Note that the bridge behaves correct afaik (as in "it works") and both
interfaces get created, which is why this was no priority.

net/bridge/br_if.c::new_nbp() does
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
which triggers the oops through mm/slab.c::kmem_flagcheck()
I don't know what is wrong (I have no such problems with 2.4).

The trace is below:

Debug: sleeping function called from illegal context at mm/slab.c:1304
