hi again, with alot of network traffic (download and upload) to both the local network (high bandwidth) and the external network (much lower), i was able to reproduce the problem on driver ipw2200-1.0.10. i could just see the output of netstat before having to bring the system down and it doesn't look like a DDoS from there. i couldn't copy this output. i'm pleased i could at least reproduce it this time. was worried this was going to have to be a very slow thread while i waited for the next ksoftirqd 'spasm' ;) stefan's bug is alive and well in 1.0.10 it seems. so can we confirm it's an ipw2200 issue and not something linux-net might be interested in? cheers, julian ..on Mon, Jan 23, 2006 at 11:36:46AM -0600, Bonilla, Alejandro wrote: > |Am Montag 23 Januar 2006 17:56 schrieb Julian Oliver: > | > |> netstat -tupa shows no active connections but top is running hot with > |> ksoftirqd. > |> > |> //----------------------------------------------------------------> > |> > |> PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > |> 2 root 39 19 0 0 0 R 94.2 0.0 5:17.74 > |ksoftirqd/0 > | > |Surely this one: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=825 > | > |Using 1.0.8 too, so no clue whether this is fixed in newer releases. > | > |Stefan > > I heard someone on the channel said that the problem did not occur > anymore on 1.0.10 > > Give it a shot? > > .Alejandro -- _ _ _ ___ ___| |___ __| |_ _ __ __ _ _ _| |__ ___ (_-</ -_) / -_) _| _| '_ \/ _` | '_| / /(_-< /__/\___|_\___\__|\__| .__/\__,_|_| |_\_\/__/ |_http://selectparks.net/~julian - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
