Comment 1 Stephen Hemminger 2011-05-23 16:47:10 UTC
What kernel version?

I think this probably is fixed by the several commits related to bridge netfilter and ip options code in 2.6.39.
Comment 2 Giuseppe Tofoni 2011-05-24 10:37:22 UTC
Kernel version is 2.6.39 the S.O. is slackware 13.37
Comment 3 Giuseppe Tofoni 2011-05-24 11:24:53 UTC
I have the same problem with kernel 2.6.38.6 (O.S. Slackware 13.1)

Comment 6 Eric Dumazet 2011-05-25 08:37:40 UTC
Well, thats a totally different problem ;)

Its a bug in rtl8169 this time.
Comment 7 Giuseppe Tofoni 2011-05-26 19:10:20 UTC
One more question, is the patch at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/97181/  valid for the kernel 2.6.38.7 ?

The bug in rtl8169 also in kernel 2.6.38.7 ?

Thanks for your help.
Comment 8 Eric Dumazet 2011-05-26 19:25:54 UTC
Patch is for 2.6.39 only

For the rtl8169 bug, I have no idea, you should open another bugzilla entry, so that other people can take a look.
Comment 9 Florian Mickler 2011-05-30 07:59:37 UTC
A patch referencing this bug report has been merged in v3.0-rc1:

commit 33eb9873a283a2076f2b5628813d5365ca420ea9
Author: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

Comment 10 Giuseppe Tofoni 2011-06-03 15:52:19 UTC
I haven't got the problem with  kernel 2.6.39-git12 anymore, while I still have the problem with rtl8169. Now I am using netconsole for a better debug and I will open another bugzilla.
Thanks again for your help
