I can confirm, after patch this issue never appeared again. So maybe good to push it to stable and etc :) Thanks a lot Eric, you saved me again.

Still i have some weird panic issues, maybe related to conntrack, but they are rare even on high load, so i am slowly gathering data, and i found at least one more person with similar conntrack crashes on latest kernels.

My guess it wont be easy to reproduce, it is happening on box with 4.5k
interfaces, that constantly create/delete interfaces,
and even with that this problem may happen once per day, or may not
happen for 1 week.

Here is script that is being fired after new ppp interface detected. But
pppoe process are independent from
process that are "establishing" shapers.


It is probably a generic bug. sch_fq seems OK to me.

Somehow nobody tries to change qdisc hundred times per second ;)

Could you try following patch ?

It seems to 'fix' the issue for me.
