Hello Roland!
Here is a patch for ehca to use proper flag, ie. GFP_ATOMIC resp. GFP_KERNEL, when
calling get_zeroed_page() to prevent "Bug: scheduling while atomic...". This error
does not cause a kernel panic but makes ipoib un-usable afterwards. It is
reproducible on 2.6.20-rc4 if one does ifconfig down during a flood ping test.
I have not observed this error in earlier releases incl. 2.6.20-rc1. Due to
vacation time I just recognized it last couple of days.
This error occurs when a qp event/irq is received and ehca event handler allocates
a control block/page to obtain HCA error data block. Use of GFP_ATOMIC prevents this
issue.
Since this has a good chance of crashing the kernel every time HCA error data is
fetched, it would be great if you pushed this patch upstream.
Regards
Nam
