[Bug 1144322] Re: [Toshiba Satellite A80] Kernel 3.8.x Panic when disconnecting from network manager via ppp0

 

I managed to find one more bug report similar to this one. So now there
are at least four bug reports (including this one) here in Launchpad on
this problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1144322

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1165433

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1189998

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-raring/+bug/1256811

Anyway, if these are about the same bug that I think they are, the bug
has now been completely fixed in kernel version 3.14, though kernel
version 3.12 included some of the fix. Also there was one previous fix
that is also needed that I think was backported to stable before 3.12.

I think I manged to list all the necessary commits, Here are links to
the commits, in case they need to be backported:

The first fix (pre 3.12?):

The fixes in 3.12:

Title:
  [Toshiba Satellite A80] Kernel 3.8.x Panic when disconnecting from
  network manager via ppp0

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in Arch Linux:
  Fix Released
Status in Gentoo Linux:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Using: "Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 32-bit" Machine: Laptop / old Toshiba / Celeron processor
  Installing Kernel from: "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/";

  Apport disabled and uninstalled, so can't provide debug/log details
  (this to make the machine run a bit faster, have been doing so since
  10.04). Have no problem with Kernel upto 3.7.10 (have been upgrading
  to Kernel 3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8, when ever new builds are available) But
  when using Kernel 3.8.0/3.8.1/3.8.2, get Kernel Panic & machine
  crashes & freezes, have to hard boot.

  Machine connects to net using "ppp0" (modem on phone), then if you
  disconnect  the modem "ppp0" & try to reconnect, the Kernel Panics &
  crashes, or then if you disconnect by unchecking "Enable Networking" &
  then rechecking "Enable Networking", the Kernel Panics & crashes.

  First faced this problem with Kernel 3.8.0 so went back to using
  3.7.9, then same story repeated with Kernel 3.8.1 & 3.8.2, currently
  using Kernel 3.7.10. Think there is some REGRESSION in Kernel 3.8

  below details are provided using "HardInfo 0.5.1" :
