Description of problem: A client uses racoon.conf for IPSEC and it will give kernel panic when it is being used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. racoon.conf has been set as following; remote anonymous { exchange_mode main; doi ipsec_doi; situation identity_only; initial_contact off; passive on; proposal_check obey; generate_policy on; proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm sha1; authentication_method pre_shared_key; dh_group 2; } } Actual results: Kernel Dumps Expected results: IPSEC should work Additional info: necessary information has been attached in a zip file. One of the trace call shows following; Call Trace: [<c0280e85>] xfrm_policy_gc_kill [kernel] 0x45 (0xf7fa7f50) [<c012ee9a>] __run_task_queue [kernel] 0x6a (0xf7fa7f74) [<c013acfd>] context_thread [kernel] 0x13d (0xf7fa7f8c) The other one follows; Call Trace: [<c028092b>] xfrm_policy_gc_task [kernel] 0xbb (0xc46d5f5c) [<c013ae2d>] context_thread [kernel] 0x13d (0xc46d5f8c) [<c013acf0>] context_thread [kernel] 0x0 (0xc46d5fe0) [<c010958d>] kernel_thread_helper [kernel] 0x5 (0xc46d5ff0) It seems that it is panicing at the same place.
