Just had an oops on 2.6.0-test9 which, I believe, is related to this. I have been having these lockups for some time, but this was the first time I was not in X, so I was able to see the oops. Wrote it down partly: EIP is at __xfrm_policy_destroy+0x27/0x60 Call trace: run_timer_softirq+0xce/0x1b0 do_softirq+0x96/0xa0 do_IRQ+0x109/0x140 _stext+0x0/0x60 common_interrupt+0x18/0x20 _stext+0x0/0x60 default_idle+0x26/0x30 cpu_idle+0x34/0x40 start_kernel+0x17b/0x1b0 unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x100 Code : 0f 0b ed 00 e3 b4 37 c0 8d 43 10 89 04 24 e8 16 60 e0 ff 85 Fatal exception in interrupt Alt-SysRq+P showed: error_code+0x2d/0x38 xfrm_policy_timer+0x0/0x220 __xfrm_policy_destroy+0x27/0x60 (not sure about the order anymore.. sorry) It takes a while before I hit this.. I can usually run the ipsec connection for a while before getting the lockup. - : 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
