Hi, I'm running on a MIPSbe(AMD au1550) CPU and I'm getting kernel crashes when pumping a lot of traffic through two bridges using iperf. kernel: linux-2.6.13-rc7 ~ from mips-linux.org The setup is: [host a]<-->[bridge a]<---->[bridge b]<-->[host b] host a: iperf client host b: iperf server Not sure if it makes a difference, but about 99% of the time the crash happens on the device that the iperf client is hooked up to. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, I've searched the mailling lists and didn't find anything specifically to this. It might be something related to my architecture, but I thought I'd try here first. Any help, or pointers are much appreciated. Thanks, Steve I've pasted the dump below ______________BEGIN DUMP_________________ Unhandled kernel unaligned access in arch/mips/kernel/unaligned.c::emulate_load_store_insn, line 475[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 00000000 80454bc0 c011023c c0114758 $ 4 : 00000004 8038d988 00000000 00000001 $ 8 : c0114758 252e0b3a 00112515 ed370800 $12 : 00000003 00000001 00000000 00000007 $16 : 8038d938 80000000 80454c60 00000001 $20 : 00000000 00000004 8038d988 00000001 $24 : 00000000 2ab0bdf4 $28 : 8038c000 8038d8b0 c01072b0 802ce794 Hi : 00000015 Lo : 0000004e epc : c0110254 ip_sabotage_out+0x18/0x1c4 [bridge] Tainted: P ra : 802ce794 nf_iterate+0xec/0x11c Status: 1000fc03 KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 00800010 BadVA : 0000015d PrId : 03030200 Modules linked in: wlan_scan_sta ath_pci ath_rate_atheros wlan ath_hal bridge pegIO Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo=8038c000, task=8038f138) Stack : 00000000 00000101 00000101 812a9124 8038d938 80000000 80454c60 00000001 802ce794 802bc6e8 00000000 8b547ae8 812a9080 813d3ce0 c01072b0 8b527360 00000004 8038d988 00000010 00000000 c01072b0 00000001 8038d938 80000000 00000002 802cf0b4 802bc6ac 802bc578 c01072b0 c0107420 00000001 8038d938 c01072b0 80000000 c0114758 00000000 c01072b0 00000001 00000002 8bcb6000 ...
