Hi, Using ixp4xx_crypto hardware acceleration i have the panic below, only when doing a ping > MTU or any other packet > MTU. The basic setup is 802.1Q VLAN --> ixp4xx_eth --> IPSec Tunnel a ping -s 1800 to a host on the other side of the tunnel will produce the kernel panic.. Doing the same test with software only, no hardware acceleration, everything works fine. Tomorrow i'll have more time to debug this, but my best guess now, is a problem with ixp4xx_crypto, the ablkcipher_request scatterlist src, or the cryto asyncd, or something else. The same occurs on 2.6.28.7 and 2.6.28.4 [42949526.020000] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [42949526.020000] pgd = c0004000 [42949526.030000] [00000000]
