Right. If that oops would be hit often enough one can easily mix the warning with that hang though there is no relation (the fact that final oops always goes unnoticed in X amplifies the effect). > I then pulled the lateset git changes, rebuild, rebooted and setup the > workload again.

Lets hope so, in any case if you still see hangs please get the final oops. > If it ever occurs again I will notify you. Thanks. Also, if you keep getting those TCP warnings (even alone without a crash) please drop me a note since I'd be interesting in tracking that down as well even though it is probably not very significant flaw. Even once a week/month is very promising rate considering how rare they occur for most of the people who were lucky enough to get them in the first place. -- i. ---696208474-2004850153-1238491011=:30150-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
