Description of problem: The kernel occasionally produces the message "KERNEL: assertion (cnt <= tcp_get_pcount(&tp->packets_out)) failed at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c (1553)". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL.x86_64 (it's also occurred on other kernels, though I'm not sure exactly which ones...this is just the latest) How reproducible: Happens at random times, very infrequently (once every few months) Steps to Reproduce: n/a Actual results: Error message. Expected results: No error message. Additional info: We've seen this message occur on three different web servers over the past few months (8/31/2007, 1/3/2008, and 5/13/2008). It isn't accompanied by any obvious misbehavior, though we've rebooted the servers in question after they produced the message just to be on the safe side. This isn't a serious problem by any means, but I'm reporting it because I couldn't find another bug report for it.
We're seeing this also. server=hpdl585-g2 kernel=2.6.9-55.0.12.elsmp this box serves nfs as a veritas cluster. Due to the high bandwidth, we;re seeing half a dozen of these each day. We are ignoring them.
We're seeing this also. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6) kernel=2.6.24.3
