Hi Ben, Greg, I was finally able to identify the patch series that introduced the fix (they were introduced to -stable in 2.6.33.2):
cb63112 net: add __must_check to sk_add_backlog a12a9a2 net: backlog functions rename 51c5db4 x25: use limited socket backlog c531ab2 tipc: use limited socket backlog 37d60aa sctp: use limited socket backlog 9b3d968 llc: use limited socket backlog 230401e udp: use limited socket backlog 20a92ec tcp: use limited socket backlog ab9dd05 net: add limit for socket backlog After applying these to 2.6.32.17, I wasn't able to trigger the failure anymore. 230401e didn't apply cleanly with git cherry-pick on top of 2.6.32.17, so there might be some additional work needed. @Greg: would it be possible to have these fixes in the next 2.6.32? See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592187#69 for details: they fix a guest network crash during heavy nfs-io using virtio.
