Hi Brad,

This has probably nothing to do with ebtables, so please rmmod in case
it's loaded.
A few questions I didn't directly see an answer to in the threads I
scanned...
I'm assuming you actually use the bridging firewall functionality. So,
what iptables modules do you use? Can you reduce your iptables rules to
a core that triggers the bug?
Or does it get triggered even with an empty set of firewall rules?
Are you using a stock .35 kernel or is it patched?
Is this something I can trigger on a poor guy's laptop or does it
require specialized hardware (I'm catching up on qemu/kvm...)?

Not specialised hardware as such, I've just not been able to reproduce
it outside of this specific operating scenario.

The last similar problem we've had was related to the 32/64 bit compat
code. Are you running 32 bit userspace on a 64 bit kernel?

No, 32 bit Guest OS, but a completely 64 bit userspace on a 64 bit kernel.

Userspace is current Debian Stable. Kernel is Vanilla and qemu-kvm is
current git

I can't trigger it with empty firewall rules as it relies on a DNAT to
occur. If I try it directly to the internal IP address (as I have to
without netfilter loaded) then of course nothing fails.

It's a pain in the bum as a fault, but it's one I can easily reproduce
as long as I use the same set of circumstances.

I'll try using 3.0-rc2 (current git) tonight, and if I can reproduce it
on that then I'll attempt to pare down the IPTABLES rules to a bare
minimum.

It is nothing to do with ebtables as I don't compile it. I'm not really
sure about "bridging firewall" functionality. I just use a couple of
hand coded bash scripts to set the tables up.

 From one of your previous mails:

quoted

# CONFIG_BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES is not set

How about CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER?

It was compiled in.

With the following table set I was able to reproduce the problem on
3.0-rc2. Replaced my IP with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, but otherwise unmodified

Which kernel was the last version without this problem?

The main suspects would be NAT and TCPMSS. Did you also try whether
the crash occurs with only one of these these rules?

I've just compiled out CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER and can no longer access
the address the way I was doing it, so that's a no-go for me.

That's really weird since you're apparently not using any bridge
netfilter features. It shouldn't have any effect besides changing
at which point ip_tables is invoked. How are your network devices
configured (specifically any bridges)?
