Hi All:
I have tested 2.6.37-rc5 and the bug still exist.
I also tested 2.6.32.24, the oops frequency is much lower than 2.6.37. (Only happened 2 times in one week).

Regards,
Baoyb

Hi All:

We are using a USB 3G card(HUAWEI e180) and wvdial+pppd(version
2.4.5) program. Sometimes kernel will crash when pppd disconnect the
link. Our cpu platform is AMCC ppc405EX and kernel version is
2.6.37-rc4.

Can you try 2.6.37-rc5 and see if that fixed the issue? A number of tty
fixes went in between those two versions that should have resolved this.

thanks,
