Hello! When using "vconfig rem" command to delete vlan device, on which kernel-mode PPPoE session were active, vconfig and all pppd processes froze in D state with all networking operation stuck, rendering the box non-functional.
Kernel started to print message: unregister_netdevice: waiting for vlan0154 to become free. Usage count = 3 in a loop until reboot. This was kernel 2.6.18-rc7 on AMD64 box. It said 'Usage count = 3' and there were exactly 3 pppd processes using vlan0154 interface and stuck in D state. ~ :wq With best regards, Vladimir Savkin. - 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
