Hi, I just found a segfault in the ath6kl driver. I succeed in triggering it when I'm doing scp on a slow storage. ( ~ 1Mbit/s slow SDIO bus) I doesn't succeed in reproducing it using iperf, which gives slightly better throughput (100 Mbit/s tcp). I'm using a preempt rt Linux 2.6.33 + wireless compat-3.6.6-1.

On Kalle's request, I add a debug line when the bug occurs. ath6kl_dbg(ATH6KL_DBG_HTC, "SVC Ready: 0x%4.4X: ULpipe:%d DLpipe:%d id:%d\n", ep->svc_id, ep->pipe.pipeid_ul, ep->pipe.pipeid_dl, ep->eid); and the log when the bugs occurs: SVC Ready: 0x0000: ULpipe:0 DLpipe:0 id:6 So I add a check for null pointer, the communication no longer hang. here is the patch: From 9565f0ab6aa5e739c8ceac6eef9e19b6dba71a07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Massot <jmassot@aldebaran-robotics.com> Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:32:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath6kl: check for null rx hanldler of htc_ep_callbacks struct --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/htc_pipe.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+)
