The bad news is that I haven't yet been able to capture traces. Once every three days or so I get a crash of 2.6.18-rc[67] which *probably* end in tcp_ack(), but I don't have the exact dump.
My .config is indeed heavy on TCP congestion stuff: $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i tcp CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_ADVANCED=y # TCP congestion control CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_CUBIC=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_WESTWOOD=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_HTCP=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_HSTCP=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_HYBLA=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_VEGAS=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_SCALABLE=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_LP=y CONFIG_TCP_CONG_VENO=y CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_TCP=y CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TCPMSS=y # CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE is not set # CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP is not set # CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is not set However, I haven't specifically configured anything. $ dmesg | grep -i tcp [ 33.106317] TCP established hash table entries: 131072 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes) [ 33.107086] TCP bind hash table entries: 65536 (order: 7, 524288 bytes) [ 33.107476] TCP: Hash tables configured (established 131072 bind 65536) [ 33.107605] TCP reno registered [ 40.985770] IPVS: Registered protocols (TCP, UDP, AH, ESP) [ 41.105710] TCP bic registered [ 41.105833] TCP cubic registered [ 41.105957] TCP westwood registered [ 41.106080] TCP highspeed registered [ 41.106203] TCP hybla registered [ 41.106328] TCP htcp registered [ 41.106452] TCP vegas registered [ 41.106574] TCP veno registered [ 41.106698] TCP scalable registered [ 41.106822] TCP lp registered $ cat ipv4/tcp_congestion_control lp I hope to follow up this message with the actual backtrace, but this is already an heads up. Sorry for not yet being able to be more specific. bert -- http://www.PowerDNS.com Open source, database driven DNS Software http://netherlabs.nl Open and Closed source services - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
