One thing i've found, is with fragmented packets in crypto/eseqiv.c eseqiv_chain() scatterwalk_sg_chain(head, 2, sg); is called and the BUG() occurs. > Are you sure, your printk()s don't have any side effect ? > > Don't think so, i tried taking them out and had the same issue. I'm using pr_debug so undefine debug and take them out.. I've also reproduced the same issue.. in IPSec transport and tunnel modes, with and without vlans, using 3des-cbc or aes-cbc A simple config like below, and a ping -s 2000 will create a IP fragment and cause the BUG() #!/usr/sbin/setkey -f flush; spdflush; add 192.168.10.51 192.168.10.54 esp 0x101 -E aes-cbc 0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f; add 192.168.10.54 192.168.10.51 esp 0x201 -E aes-cbc 0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f; spdadd 192.168.10.51 192.168.10.54 any -P out ipsec esp/transport//require; Thanks, Karl -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
