To all out knowledge, this bug may be most likely triggered by a slow, saturated network, which supposedly produces IP packet drops and/or triggers IP packets not arriving in sequence and hence need to reordered by the kernel.
Examples for such setups are UMTS data cards or 2MBit/s DSL lines with a running bittorrent client or a heavily AJAXed webapp like gmail. I already poinetd out a patch, which has been commited on the 2.6.25 kernel branch which seems to fix a lockup problem with IP queues in the kernel. Please, please, ubuntu kernel developers review this patch and start trying to reproduce this problem in the nea future, Regards, Wolfgang -- Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
