Bug#417333: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: kernel panic in tcp_tso_segment on Dell PE650
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12
Severity: important
On a Dell PowerEdge 650 server, I got kernel panics with testing kernel 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11.
I copied the output displayed on the console, which gives something like this :
[<.......>] dst_output
[<.......>] ip_queue_xmit
[<.......>] dst_output
[<.......>] tcp_transmit_skb
[<.......>] tcp_push_one
[<.......>] tcp_sendmsg
[<.......>] inet_sendmsg
[<.......>] do_sock_write
[<.......>] sock_writev
[<.......>] do_wp_page
[<.......>] __handle_mm_fault
[<.......>] autoremove_wake_function
[<.......>] __next_cpu
[<.......>] sock_writev
[<.......>] do_readv_writev
[<.......>] vfs_writev
[<.......>] sys_writev
[<.......>] sysenter_past_esp
Code: ....
EIP: [<c024c735>] tcp_tso_segment ...
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Looking for kernel + panic + tcp_tso_segment + sysenter_past_esp on google, I found a bug report with similar errors (#391955), which seems to happen on a different system but with a network e1000 driver too... dunno if this is related to the same problem or not :(
FYI here's the hardware :

Hope this helps.
Now, I'm running latest as of today (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12) and will pray for not getting the same issue again.
