Hello, I had this intention from the start but when I havn't seen any changes on the web site (from 2006-03-25), no activity on the group site for long time and no posibility to read any archives of that group, I thought maybe here would be some more interest. I've seen some patches here, so I dared to send mine. The second receiver was Andre Correa (I think he tries to save his address). After your mail I looked at this group site again and, miracuously, I see some activity today, so I'll take your advice and subscribe.

I know they are going there from OUTPUT for routing decision and should be delivered to hooks in PREROUTING like IMQ, but they also should not have IMQ flag set at the moment (they will be tagged by iptables in the POSTROUTING future!). But for some reasons (probably some shortcut) they do have this flag and IMQ egress queue is not on their way. Bad diagnose! There is no shortcut. Only in my testing procedure: I've switched off the egress hook, so the IMQ flag traveled from POSTROUTING to PREROUTING not annoyed. I forgot it isn't the real device. Sorry for misleading. So I added this short test in imq_nf_hook and my soft lockups are gone. Nevertheles this method works. I dont't know why, yet. It exludes one direction of local traffic from queuing but who cares?
