Looks more like rtl8169 is to blame. I'm not sure. Looks like there is deadlock or infinite loop in process that holds rtnl lock. This can be wireless driver, wired driver or generic network code bug. Maciej, please recompile with CONFIG_LOCKDEP and check if it will not find any deadlock. If not, when problem will happen please do echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger dmesg -c > dmesg1.txt echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger dmesg > dmesg2.txt and provide those files. Additionally there are also lot in dmesg: netlink: 140 bytes leftover after parsing attributes. This need to be investigated as well. Perhaps you could modify error message, to show what netlink messages/attributes are processed.
