I posted this to message linux-kernel too, but maybe someone here has seen this, or can duplicate this problem...
Running snmpd or httpd overnight causes this oops: (kernel BUG at /home/brian/linux/include/linux/dcache.h:251! - in dget() called from d_alloc()). Occasionally I see: de_put: entry net already free! before the oops. I've been able to reliably reproduce the problem in 15 minutes by running this instead: while /bin/true; do cat /proc/net/* 2>/dev/null > /tmp/junk; done; The dget() fails when trying to open /proc/net/tcp, for example, and finds that net has a zero dentry->d_count. Montavista 2.4.2, patched to 2.4.3 on a 405GP, with root fs on ramdisk. Any ideas on why this is happening? The system is stable otherwise. Thanks, Brian ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
