Hi
(Sorry for the crosspost but I don't know on which list the people capable
of helping are subscribed :) (it's kernel, networkrelated and possibly
netfilter related)
As you can see (see topic) I have a small problem.
I got this while stresstesting an SMP router here.
hardware:
2 x pIII 600
440BX chipset motherboard
2 x 32MB pc100 ram
128MB flashdisk
D-Link DFE570-TX (quad DECchip 21143) NIC
Berkshire PCI watchdogcard.
Kernel: 2.4.8-ac12 (got a hang on 2.4.9-ac18 too but didn't have a monitor
or serial console attached to it and the watchdogcard rebooted it)
The tulipdriver I'm using isn't the "vanilla" one, it's the optimized
polling version by Jamal and Robert (ANK was involved here too I think?)
I can't rule this driver out but I don't think it's at fault here.
I was running a quite heavy stresstest between 3 ports on the NIC.
All was going just fine until I heard the watchdog go *beep* as it
rebooted the router. And then I found this on the serial-console:
"NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP on CPU1, registers:" and a stackdump
(decoded below)

/proc/version:
Linux version 2.4.8-ac12 (root@tux) (gcc version 2.95.4 20010604 (Debian
prerelease)) #7 SMP Sun Aug 26 22:02:31 CEST 2001
the router is set up to SNAT packets going out of eth0 and then I have a
portforward leading in to a machine on another port in the NIC.
I had one machine on each of eth0, eth1 and eth3 generating and recieving
traffic. (the traffic was generated by 'nc ip port < /dev/zero' and
revieced by 'nc -l -p port > /dev/null' so there's some pipeing going on
too.)
two streams coming in on eth1 and eth3 where SNAT'd out via eth0 and one
stream coming in on eth0 was DNAT'd to the machine on eth1.
And then there where two streams between eth1 and eth3, one in each
direction.
= there where quite a lot of packets.
The router had been running this test for over 36 hours when it died.
As I wrote earlier, 2.4.9-ac18 died too, within a few hours but I had no
chance of getting the output :(

To me it looks like ip_finish_output2 freaked and did something nasty.
I hope someone who knows the networking a little better than me can help
with this one. My goal is to make linux survive at least a month of
stresstesting :)

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
