Hi,

This has been one of the best -mm releases in a while. No problems compiling or running - and so far nearly 18 hours uptime without any surprises.
Following up on a posting from the last -mm release, I'm still seeing errors loading multiple network drivers as modules (e100 and sky2) when CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL is enabled, with 2.6.14-mm1, 2.6.14-mm2 and now 2.6.15-rc1-mm1. Mainline git doesn't exhibit the problem, so it's -mm specific.
This is what is logged:
Nov 18 17:40:42 tornado kernel: e100: 0000:06:03.0: e100_eeprom_load: EEPROM corrupted Nov 18 17:40:42 tornado kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:06:03.0 disabled Nov 18 17:40:42 tornado kernel: e100: probe of 0000:06:03.0 failed with error -11 Nov 18 17:40:43 tornado kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 177 Nov 18 17:40:43 tornado kernel: sky2 0000:04:00.0: unsupported chip type 0xff Nov 18 17:40:43 tornado kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled Nov 18 17:40:43 tornado kernel: sky2: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -95
I'm certain that both of these NIC's are OK as they work fine with CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL not selected.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL disabled and an otherwise identical config, the driver modules load up just fine.
A known good kernel with this config was 2.6.14-rc5-mm1. I have backed out git-netdev-all but it made no difference, as well as backed out the e100 changes in -mm on 2.6.15-mm2, again no difference. So I suspect it's not a netdev driver problem.
What else can I do to help narrow down the problem? What other trees or patches would be worth backing out to try and narrow it down?
.config and system details are up on http://www.reub.net/kernel/
