RE: network hang trigger

["Charles Coffing" <ccoffing@novell.com>]

I was able to reproduce the hang easily.  "ping -s 1473" worked, but
"ping -s 1499" hung.  While it was hung, I tried pinging the other
direction and that hung too.

My setup:
Pinging from DOMU to DOM0
Changeset 1.1307
DOM0: 2.6.8.1, Stock configuration
DOMU: 2.6.8.1, Stock, except writable pagetables are disabled

ccoffing2:~ # ping -s 1499 137.65.171.60

Hmmmm... are you running 2.6 and pinging from xenU to xen0?

I've read your other emails, and I can still get it to fail if I remove
vif1.0 from the bridge and give it its own ip address, but to properly
exclude bridging I guess I'd have to boot up the computer with bridging
never having been started...

I'm running code checked out and compiled yesterday (15th AEST), and
have writable pagetables on but only since that last compile. It fails
either way. I have no iptables/conntrack related modules loaded in
either domain.

I think we'll have to start comparing .config's, but I need to get some
sleep.
