8390: Don't oops on starting dev queue
The __NS8390_init tries to start the device queue before the device is registered. This results in an oops (snipped): [ 2.865493] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 [ 2.866106] IP: [<ffffffffa000602a>] netif_start_queue+0xb/0x12 [8390] [ 2.881267] Call Trace: [ 2.881437] [<ffffffffa000624d>] __NS8390_init+0x102/0x15a [8390] [ 2.881999] [<ffffffffa00062ae>] NS8390_init+0x9/0xb [8390] [ 2.882237] [<ffffffffa000d820>] ne2k_pci_init_one+0x297/0x354 [ne2k_pci] [ 2.882955] [<ffffffff811c7a0e>] local_pci_probe+0x12/0x16 [ 2.883308] [<ffffffff811c85ad>] pci_device_probe+0xc3/0xef [ 2.884049] [<ffffffff8129218d>] driver_probe_device+0xbe/0x14b [ 2.884937] [<ffffffff81292260>] __driver_attach+0x46/0x62 [ 2.885170] [<ffffffff81291788>] bus_for_each_dev+0x49/0x78 [ 2.885781] [<ffffffff81291fbb>] driver_attach+0x1c/0x1e [ 2.886089] [<ffffffff812912ab>] bus_add_driver+0xba/0x227 [ 2.886330] [<ffffffff8129259a>] driver_register+0x9e/0x115 [ 2.886933] [<ffffffff811c8815>] __pci_register_driver+0x50/0xac [ 2.887785] [<ffffffffa001102c>] ne2k_pci_init+0x2c/0x2e [ne2k_pci] [ 2.888093] [<ffffffff81000212>] do_one_initcall+0x7c/0x130 [ 2.888693] [<ffffffff8106d74f>] sys_init_module+0x99/0x1da [ 2.888946] [<ffffffff81002a2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This happens because the netif_start_queue sets respective bit on the dev->_tx array which is not yet allocated. As far as I understand the code removing the netif_start_queue from __NS8390_init is OK, since queue will be started later on device open. Plz, correct me if I'm wrong.
