Message-ID: <20080306135625.M25627@visp.net.lb> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080306134015.GA4571@ff.dom.local>
I am able to reproduce this warning over this relatively simple shell script
on my Gentoo PC (2.6.25-rc3).
http://www.nuclearcat.com/files/bug_feb.txt
Probably it will help to debug issue for more experienced developers. Note:
it appears not immediately, second time i tested, it's appeared after while,
but in matter of seconds.
Note - it can stop traffic on PC completely. It is also seems crashed my
desktop PC, i am not able to execute "tc qdisc del dev eth0 root".
The system hang completely. I had few similar issues on my PPPoE servers
(with different scripts for shapers), that system hang, and even "reboot -f"
doesn't work sometimes.
