           Summary: Kernel OOPS when transmitting packets using OVS and
                    DSA
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.6.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: shemminger at linux-foundation.org

        Regression: No


When I compiled the kernel (3.6.1 mainline) with distributed switch
architectural (DSA) and OVS (OpenvSwich), I can pass ping traffic fine, but
larger packets cause an oops.

This is on a Freescale 83XX Processor:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Rebooting in 10 seconds..

This is 100% repeatable.  

I had to do some small kernel tweaks to get the DSA drivers to find the
hardware, so it is possible I broke something, but unlikely since my changes
were not in this area at all.
