Do these crashes still happen with kernel 2.6.12.2? Created attachment 5564 [details]
Kernel 2.6.12 bug trace
This is on a Compaq ML350 running Fedora Core 4 with the latest kernel.
[rsokoloski@nfrserv2 ~]$ uname -a
Linux nfrserv2 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4smp #1 SMP Fri Jul 15 01:30:13 EDT 2005 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Interesting that Philipp and I are both using the tg3 network driver on SMP machines. Wonder if it's a race condition - I've got a ethereal file showing 10 totally trashed packets at it's end, captured just before a kernel panic. Maybe the skb table is getting trashed somehow. Also interesting is that I have another ML350 server at another location which is solid as a rock on FC3: [rsokoloski@welserv2 ~]$ uname -a Linux welserv2 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp #1 SMP Thu Feb 24 14:20:06 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The difference is there are no client machines below OS9.1 connecting to welserv2. The machine that's crashing, nfrserv2, has clients as low as 8.1 connecting. I'm confused, either way. I'm no C programmer, but I'll help out however I can. Ron Sokoloski Is this issue still present in kernel 2.6.16? Please reopen this bug if it's still present in kernel 2.6.17. Fixed in 2.6.21-rc6 (and 2.6.20.5): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=75559c167bddc1254db5bcff032ad5eed8bd6f4a We were overreacting to invalid incoming AppleTalk frames. Better just drop invalid frames than crash the kernel ;) |
