Summary: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0 - maybe related to
TCP_MD5SIG
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.20-9-server-lp2
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: IPV4
AssignedTo: shemminger at linux-foundation.org
ReportedBy: tore at linpro.no
CC: yoshfuji at linux-ipv6.org
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.12 (with
TCP_MD5SIG-implementation from
http://hasso.linux.ee/doku.php/english:network:rfc2385)
Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Hardware Environment: Sun X4100 (x86_64, SMP)
Software Environment: Ubuntu 2.6.20-9-server-lp2 (-lp2 because it's recompiled
with TCP_MD5SIG enabled), 64-bits userspace
Problem Description:
The server is a border router running Quagga for BGP and OSPF, and usually
forwards 4-500Mbps worth of traffic between around 80 VLAN interfaces. Four
network interfaces, bonded pairwise. It has three BGP sessions with MD5
signatures enabled.
The server has an identical twin (for failover) which has also locked up like
this, although it happens much more frequently on the active one (no matter
which one is active, unfortunately). We've got lots of these servers, but only
the border routers have had these lockups.
Once in a while (say, once every four to six weeks) it will flood the console
with BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! and shortly after fail completely.This
time I had increased the default prink level one notch and got the back traces
too. I'm not used to reading those, but the md5sig stuff seems to stand out...
I'll try to attach the trace somehow (got an error message about the bug being
to large when attempting to include it here).
Steps to reproduce: It happens completely out of the blue, so I don't know
how.
