While working on a patch to remove the SN dependencies from the
ioc4 driver, I ran across the included oops in the IDE code.
I believe the problem is that HWIF(drive) is NULL in SELECT_DRIVE.
This seems to be confirmed by the value of r10 in the oops output,
which contains &(HWIF(drive)->intrproc) at the moment of the oops.
If my reading of the IDE code is correct (I'm no expert, to be sure),
the "hwif" field of an ide_drive_t is initialized in init_irq() in
ide-probe.c. However, this code has not been called yet. The structure
of function calls as-coded is:
probe_hwif_init_with_fixup
probe_hwif
wait_hwif_ready
SELECT_DRIVE
hwif_init
init_irq
So, unless I'm missing something, there seems to be a use of an
(ide_drive_t*)->hwif field (in SELECT_DRIVE()) before it is initialized
(in init_irq()).
Thanks,
Brent Casavant
