With the newest kernel
i have no problem.
only this: Fix inflate_threshold_root. Now=15 size=11 bits
Comment 3 Natalie Protasevich 2008-03-24 15:44:34 UTC 
Thanks for the update.
Hmm, this comes from resize() in TCP code. CC-int to Stephen, maybe this bug needs to be re-assigned now.
Comment 4 Stephen Hemminger 2008-03-31 08:14:30 UTC 
Are you using Jumbo frames? I suspect the problem is that e1000
driver has to round up allocations, and when using Jumbo frames this can
mean a 9K frame requires 16K contiguous allocation.  On a busy system
that will fail. Newer kernels generate less fragmented space, but it
is really a hardware problem.
Comment 5 Stephen Hemminger 2008-03-31 08:18:21 UTC 
The message 'inflate_threshold_root' comes from the fib_trie routing
code. How many routes do you have and what is the distribution?

It would be useful to see the output of /proc/net/fib_triestat and 
/proc/net/fib_trie
