AW: AW: AW: PROBLEM: Kernel Oops in UDP stack

Hi everyone,

I did three things that evening.
* I created a small dts file, so I could boot a 3.5.7 kernel.
* Ported the pskb_expand_head from 3.5.7 to 3.4.113
* Ported the whole skbuf.{c,h} file from 3.5.7 to 3.4.113

Sadly enough the second and third one panicked as well, but interestingly not the first one (3.5.7 with a simple dts file). Now the question is: Is something changed outside of the skbuf (maybe in udp.{c,h}?) or is it because the dts uses a different approach of talking to the MAC of the lpc3250?

I may try a more recent kernel with a dts file (maybe a 4.x.x one), but I think that will be impossible to backport a patch for our 2.6 kernel :(

If anybody has any more ideas about why the dts kernel does not panic, you're very welcome.

Mit freundlichen GrÃÃen / With kind regards
