As I stated earlier, this bug is related to TCP/IP packet drops, which
may be triggered by several factors such as:
- A dialup connection through GPRS/UMTS
- A switch with a primitive drop-tail policy under heavy load.
- Very, very many simultaneous TCP/IP connections.
I already pointed out an applicable patch from the 2.6.25 release
series. However, I never got any response, whether my assumption may be
valid or not. We are observing this deadlock on various machines, the
only common denominator so far seems to be that we are running a x86_64
version of ubuntu hardy. I never observed a dead-lock under i386, but
this may be due to the fact that we have only 20% of our hardware
running under i386.
Regards,
Wolfgang
