Sounds like a memory leak somewhere. It would probably be interesting to watch /proc/slabinfo every five minutes or so, and see what happens.. Linus

Also, we've certainly fixed some serious networking bugs since test9 came out.

Hi, After a continous run for 3 days the bridge came down crashing with the following kernel panic screen dump. The kernel is 2.6.0-test9-bk25 with kernel preemption disabled. The following call stack is what I have seen on the console. The ethernet cards are RTL8139. Please let me know if you want more information or finer debugging method, I will pass it on when the bridge fails the next time. When it worked it really worked.

Can you hook a serial console to catch the precise wording? Also if you save copies of /proc/slabinfo on a regular interval (like per hour), then it is possible to see if there is a memory leak.
