| |
Hi,
I'm following up with a previous email where I was reporting a systematic kernel panic/system freeze when closing a bluetooth DUN connection.
I have made a few more tests, all with 64 bit machines:
- Bug happens with all the 3.8.x kernel series, up to the latest 3.8.6 - Bug happens with the 3.9RC6 kernel - Bug is not present up to 3.7.x, including the latest 3.7.10 - Bug happens on the DELL E6500 laptop that has a Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card - Bug also happens on a desktop that has a Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Let me recall that the bug is triggered by connecting to the internet via a mobile phone, using bluetooth DUN and then disconnecting. Kernel panics on disconnection (the phone I am using is a Samsung Galaxy S Plus)
- Bug does not happen on the same machines when connecting to the internet via ppp using a usb gsm/umts dongle and the same provider, so the bug seems to be BT related and not common to all internet connections using a Point to Point serial protocol.
Unfortunately, I see the bug on a machine that I use for day by day work and I cannot afford bisecting here.
Nonetheless, the bug seems easy to reproduce (I catched it on two different machines with different setups). So I hope this note can help haunting the regression anyway.
Thanks for the attention,
Sergio Callegari
