Hello,
This bug has been around forever, and we recently got an intern and stuck him
with
trying to reproduce it on the latest kernel. It is still here. I'm not super
excited
about trying to fix this, but we can easily test patches if someone has a
patch to try.
Test case is to create 1000 mac-vlans and bring them up, with user-space
tools running lots of 'dump' related commands as part of bringing up the
interfaces and configuring some special source-based routing tables.
