RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Mike Gahagan 2011-02-08 21:45:12 UTC 
Just in case it makes any difference, I reproduced this on an x86_64 kvm guest running on an x86_64 RHEL 6.0 host. The host has:

[mpg@dhcp231-174 x86_64]$ rpm -qa | grep kvm
qemu-kvm-tools-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6.x86_64
[mpg@dhcp231-174 x86_64]$ uname -r
2.6.32-71.6.1.el6.x86_64
Comment 3 Herbert Xu 2011-02-11 23:18:15 UTC 
Created attachment 478326 [details]
net: Do not zero object we just freed

Does this patch help?
Comment 5 Mike Gahagan 2011-02-15 16:13:55 UTC 
2.6.32-115.el6.bz676099 seems to help. I tried both the x86_64 and x86_64.debug kernel on my test VM and was not able to reproduce the problem.
