Panic is at tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue
From: sbs
Date: Tue Jan 05 2010 - 10:16:33 EST
We are hiting kernel panics on servers with nVidia MCP55 NICs;
it appears usualy under a high network trafic ( around 1000Mbit/s) but
it is not a rule it
has happened even on low trafic.
Servers are used as nginx http proxy.
On 2 equal servers this panic happens aprox 2 times a day depending on
network load. Machine completly freezes till the netconsole reboots.
Kernel: 2.6.31.6 #2 SMP Sun Nov 29 04:30:07 JST 2009
Panic output:
