kfree_skb on hard IRQ ???

Hi there,

my HERMES-II drivers causes a lot of

Warning: kfree_skb on hard IRQ c38c2168

messages.

What do they mean?

A grep on kernel sources brought me

drivers/net/smc91111.c: .      12/15/00  Christian Jullien fix "Warning:
kfree_skb on hard IRQ"

drivers/net/smc9194.c: .      12/15/00  Christian Jullien fix "Warning:
kfree_skb on hard IRQ"

drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c: *       OK1ZIA 2.09.01  Fixed "kfree_skb on hard
IRQ"

net/core/skbuff.c:                      printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning:
kfree_skb on hard IRQ %p\n",


but I don't know how they fixed that...

Thanks!

Is it enough to just replace dev_kfree_skb() with dev_kfree_skb_irq() ???

Thanks,

Steven

And what means

Thanks a million!

The irq comes from unplugging the WLAN pcmcia card without calling "cardctl
eject" before (which btw worked for every other wlan card so far).

Ideas?

Steven
