The problem was the command to dump stats was called in the watchdog once the results from the previous dump stats command completed. If for some reason the command didn't execute, we'll be waiting for results that never come. Fix was to execute the stat dump command unconditionally in the watchdog. If it fails to execute on a rare occasion, we'll try again in the next watchdog tick. -scott - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
