David and Patrick,
Here is the latest on this problem.
I pulled from Linus's tree this morning and now have git-05752-g93ded9b. The kernel WARNING from __netif_schedule and the lockdep warning are present with or without the patches from yesterday.
As I stated earlier, the kernel WARNING (it was a BUG then) was introduced in commit 37437bb2 when the BUG statement was entered.
The lockdep warning started with the next commit (16361127).
I am not using any network traffic shaping. Is it correct that the faulty condition is not that q == &noop_qdisc, but that __netif_schedule was called when that condition exists?
The lockdep warning is:
============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.26-Linus-git-05752-g93ded9b #49 --------------------------------------------- NetworkManager/2611 is trying to acquire lock: (&dev->addr_list_lock){-...}, at: [<ffffffff803a2ad1>] dev_mc_sync+0x19/0x57

The logged data for the WARNING is as follows:

Other info I have found. The call to __netif_schedule from ieee80211_scan_completed is through the following code from include/linux/netdevice.h:
/** * netif_wake_queue - restart transmit * @dev: network device * * Allow upper layers to call the device hard_start_xmit routine. * Used for flow control when transmit resources are available. */ static inline void netif_tx_wake_queue(struct netdev_queue *dev_queue) { #ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP if (netpoll_trap()) { clear_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state); return; } #endif if (test_and_clear_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state)) __netif_schedule(dev_queue->qdisc); }
It doesn't make any difference if CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP is defined or not.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information,
Larry
