The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing. We'd really appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify if this issue still exists. Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1 LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel. You'll have to manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test. This should not be the case for Alpha2 which is set to come out around Dec 20. However, here are the instructions to install if you choose to do so, otherwise just wait for Alpha2 to come out:

1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list . Please update this report with your results. Thanks in advance!

This bug report is remaining open against the actively developed kernel however against linux-source-2.6.22 this bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being closed. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks!

Ok, I'll try (now there's even 2.6.24-4 if I'm right) however since I don't know what trigger the problem exactly, I don't know how I can sure that the problem is solved by 2.6.24-4 kernel or not.

Hi LGB,

I just wanted to let you know that you can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. It might be easier than having to install the kernel by hand - which was only necessary to test 2.6.24-1 since it didn't make it into the first Alpha release. Thanks.

I'm using hardy for some time, and I haven't got this issue yet, but since this problem didn't occure very often (and I don't know how to trigger) with kernel of gutsy neither, I can't say that it's fixed in hardy though ...

Hi LGB,

Thanks for the update. It sounds like a good sign that you have not ran into this while running Hardy. I'll go ahead and leave this report open for a while longer before we close it. If you are able to reproduce the issue, definitely let us know. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

This bug was reported a while ago but there hasn't been any recent comments or updates. Is this still an issue with the latest pre-release of Jaunty 9.04? Refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta . Please let us know.

Since Hardy is LTS, and i am sticked to OCFS version on 5 servers, i cannot test it on Jaunty, but i can confirm it on 2.6.24-24-server, as you see also with bnx2 network card. So i do not want see a statement like this: "Move away from LTS" because that would make me very sad.

Since Hardy is LTS, and i am sticked to OCFS version on 5 servers, i cannot test it on Jaunty, but i can confirm it on 2.6.24-24-server, as you see also with bnx2 network card. So i do not want see a statement like this: "Move away from LTS" because that would make me very sad.

Hi Kaustubh,

I saw the dmesg you post, but it seems you are using broadcom ethernet card (bnx2)
Could you confirm that?

Since napi has changed a lot in the newer version of linux kernel, would you please try the latest mainline build (available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline) to see whether the issue still exists.

I've just hit this bug on Lucid

# uname -a
Linux arwen 2.6.32-29-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 20:52:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

kern.log attached.

This occurred while rsyncing a large amount of data over rsh.

I have likewise hit this on Lucid with latest patches:

Linux matrix 2.6.32-30-server #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 22:46:09 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hardware is an IBM eServer Xseries 346 Model 8840U with two attached Infortrend Eonstor 24 bay RAID arrays, each hanging off an LSI22320-R. Attached is kern.log, lsmod and lspci -vvv.

I'm in a similar situation:

Oops, posted before I was finished:

I'm in a similar situation -- I'm rsyncing a bunch of stuff to the server I'm seeing the errors on.

Thanks.

Ok, this is weird -- I just now saw this same bug on an updated lucid system consisting of entirely different hardware -- looks like perhaps a bug was introduced in the last kernel update?

Linux nmrfs 2.6.32-30-server #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 22:46:09 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hardware is a whitebox 1U server with attached 24 bay Area DNS-1400 JBOD SAS-SATA, hung off an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e.

I'm getting something similar, but with the rtl8192 driver. I was connected to a wireless network but otherwise the computer was idle when this happened. The system dropped down to the text console and was completely unresponsive.

I see the same behavior on an USB network stick.
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components

I have added the error log from my lucid system
Linux 2.6.32-36-generic-pae #79-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 8 23:25:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

It seems that memory management is broken, if this is related to the network driver is unclear to me.
The messages seem dangerous to me, as also other processes than the network driver are affected.
In all messages in my log (tens of them) a similar calling tree inside the network driver is shown.

Related to newer bug:

The links in that bug state that it is a kernel bug, and solution is known. When may it come to Lucid ?

LGB [Gábor Lénárt], this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
