You refer to a patch posted by me, don't you?
If so it's very strange. I have two heavy loaded http proxy on 2.0.30
kernel with the patch
and they work good more than a month.
Would you like to send me you kernel config file and firewall rules?
You may wish to try construction like
if (skb->redirport)
{
sk = tcp_v4_proxy_lookup(th->dest, saddr,
th->source, daddr,
dev->pa_addr,
skb->redirport);
if (th->syn)
{
if (sk)
printk(KERN_DEBUG "proxy: new con\n");
else
printk(KERN_DEBUG "proxy: lookup
failed\n");
}
}else
to trace a reason of your problem.
