Description of problem: Kernel hangs suddenly.

Keywords:	tcp_lp_rtt_sample
		divide error: 0000

Additional info:

Usually I don't use RedHat's kernel directly, but OpenVZ's based on RHEL's. Please refer to mine bugreport to OpenVZ:

Comment 1 Ivan Vecera 2009-01-13 15:36:40 UTC 
The upstream commit URL:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bfbea8a8869a0e21b97605841d04190d63665d19

I'm now building the testing kernel packages to test.
Comment 2 Ivan Vecera 2009-01-13 16:45:54 UTC 
Promised kernel packages are available at:
http://people.redhat.com/ivecera/rhel-5-ivtest/

Could you please test them and report back results?
Comment 3 Igor M Podlesny 2009-01-13 23:12:00 UTC 
> Could you please test them and report back results?

My bugreport to OpenVZ project contained patch, I had backported from mainstream by myself:

	http://bugzilla.openvz.org/attachment.cgi?id=867

Since the moment I had sent the patch to OpenVZ, I was using the patch (even a bit earlier, actually). The patch is trivial and it doesn't really require any complex testing, actually I was tested since 2.6.26 came out. OpenVZ's kernel I was using started at last working w/o hangs since I had applied it.

So, put the patch into new RedHat kernel's releases ASAP, don't waste time -- it's a nasty bug and your customers shouldn't have it for such a long time since it was fixed in mainstream.
Comment 4 Ivan Vecera 2009-01-14 12:52:16 UTC 
OK, I treat it as successfully tested.
