Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 Version: 2.6.26-13 While running rtorrent with one or more torrents open, I frequently get kernel warnings like the following:
[288159.044121] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288160.767280] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288161.904441] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288163.080024] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288164.415410] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288165.906853] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.130.128.214, 65175)->(192.168.1.100, 16991) [288168.322260] __ratelimit: 1 messages suppressed in bursts of about ten or so warnings at a time, every few minutes. The only apparent solution is to cut off connections from the offending IP(s). I don't think anything is actually breaking, but these warnings can get really spammy and I'd like it if they could be cut down. There has been some discussion on the kernel.org netdev mailing list about how to deal with the MD5 hash problem more gracefully. First discussion is in this thread: < http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2008/7/29/2734974/thread > Adam Langley submitted a patch to remove the MD5 hash warnings entirely: < http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2008/7/29/2736054 > David S. Miller submitted a patch to use MIB counters instead of warnings: < http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2008/7/30/2746014 > Please consider applying one of these two patches, or finding another solution.
