From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: When shutting down an interface, it will occasionally do something like: unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0.50 to become free. Usage count = 3 These lines repeat until the box is power-cycled. All access to the box is frozen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.771_FC2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup interfaces (I think vlans may help) 2. shutdown interface 3. shutdown may cause deadlock Actual Results: Deadlock Expected Results: No deadlock Additional info: There's a conversation started the other day on the linux-netdev list here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=111261362929389&w=2 Looks like it's a problem in the kernel, but it's not reproducible enough.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
