Hello.
I was performing some benchmarks of http transfer with program 'ab'
(apache benchmark), comparing, how it will perform with/without
kernel khttpd support.
I've got oops several times, the error is replicable on my machine,
without appache even started.
The exact order of actions i did:
modprobe khttpd
I let the default configuration for first try ( threads=2, maxconnect=1000,
clientport=80, serverport=8080...)
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/start
ab -n 1000 http://localhost:8080/icons/logo.gif (included as attachement)
and everithing goes well for now, really pretty boost.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/stop
got message: Daemon 1 has ended, Daemon 0 has ended
After this step, i see from ps aux: [khttpd - 0 <defunct>]
Now, stopped the httpd accelerator and increased number of threads to four:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/stop
echo 4 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/threads
Restarted khttpd:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/khttpd/start
(i see some defunct-ed threads too now)
Then i reruned the 'ab' benchmark like above:
ab -n 1000 http://localhost:8080/icons/logo.gif
and the oops become.
If i optionally make yet another try of 'ab' benchmark after this oops,
i get another oops of type "Aieee in interrupt...killing interrupt"...

Maybe i did something stuppid, eg. it's required to unload httpd first
before changing number of threads. In this case or in case this
problem already is/was solved, i'm sorry.
Regards B.
