These code paths are now completely different with the addition of SG support. So chances are whatever bug that's causing this is no longer there. The new code should filter through to Fedora soon. I'm merging this with #199944 since the backtraces point to one issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 199944 *** Ben, Are you running with an Athlon processor? Is Herbert? I'm wondering if it is a weird bug where it matters exactly which processor is used. Ben, Are you running with an Athlon processor? Is Herbert? I'm wondering if it is a weird bug where it matters exactly which processor is used. I'm using a single dual-core opteron, 4GB of ram, and a tyan k8we motherboard. I can go for weeks without hitting this bug, and then there will be days when I crash every few hours. The frequency of crashing is at least roughly correlated with how much I'm using network traffic. FYI, since I've updated to the new kernel (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xenU) I haven't crashed..... yet. I ask because I have a single core P4 that is running two XenU's (2.6.17-1.2145_FC5xenU) without a hitch so far. One is my primary mail and DNS server and gets a fair bit of activity, while the other is my LDAP server. The Dual-core Athlon that runs 2 different XenU's hits that bug at least once a week. I didn't notice the .2174 update and will check out if it will help, although I don't know if this is the one with the SG code that Herbert was writing about. I also hope the SG code will help me with a different problem of running a PPPoE session with my ISP in a Xen0 and being able to have XenU's talk over that link. Yes I am on 32-bit so this could well be the reason. I'll go look for possible 64-bit issues in the code. Nevermind, I just noticed that your original report is 32-bit :) Good news, I've just reproduced the problem here. It should be straightforward now. |
