This\nfunction does:\n\n    get_cpu_ptr(dev->tstats)\n\nSince teql_master_setup() does not set dev->pcpu_stat_type to\nNETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS, the core network stack never allocates tstats\nfor teql0, so dev->tstats is NULL. get_cpu_ptr(NULL) computes\nNULL + __per_cpu_offset[cpu], resulting in a page fault.\n\n BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8880e6659018\n #PF: supervisor
