doing
$ gdb net/ipv4/ip_fw.o
(gdb) x/30i cleanup
:
0x5ee <cleanup+78>: movl %ebx,%esi
0x5f0 <cleanup+80>: movl 0x1c(%edi,%esi,1),%ebx <*********** oops **
0x5f4 <cleanup+84>: testl %ebx,%ebx

:
Which corresponds to (ip_fw.c):
static void cleanup(struct ip_chain *chain,
const int verbose,
unsigned int slot)
{
struct ip_chain *tmpchain = chain->reent[slot].prevchain;
if (verbose)
printk(KERN_ERR "Chain backtrace: ");
while (tmpchain) {
if (verbose)
printk("%s<-",chain->label);
chain->reent[slot].prevchain = NULL;
chain = tmpchain;
********>> tmpchain = chain->reent[slot].prevchain; <<**** oops **
}
if (verbose)
printk("%s\n",chain->label);
}
Paul, can you see any condition that could trigger this ? (I don't know how
chain handling works :(
Maybe we could insert a tappo there and ShoUT bastardly to debug it.
