running an "isic" stresstest on and against a testbox [which, amongst
other things, generates random incoming and outgoing packets] on
2.6.17-rc3 (and 2.6.17-rc3-mm1) over gigabit results in a reproducible
lockup, after 5-10 minutes of runtime:

this is with FRAME_POINTERS enabled, so it's an exact stacktrace.

the lockup is at:

(gdb) list *0xc0f00df9
0xc0f00df9 is in sctp_new
(net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_proto_sctp.c:444).
439
440 sh = skb_header_pointer(skb, iph->ihl * 4, sizeof(_sctph), &_sctph);
441 if (sh == NULL)
442 return 0;
443
444 if (do_basic_checks(conntrack, skb, map) != 0)
445 return 0;
446
447 /* If an OOTB packet has any of these chunks discard (Sec 8.4) */
448 if ((test_bit (SCTP_CID_ABORT, (void *)map))

most likely somewhere within do_basic_checks(). [whose stack entry is
obscured by the irq entry, so it's not in the stackdump.] I have SCTP
turned on:

CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_PROTO_SCTP=y
# SCTP Configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)
CONFIG_IP_SCTP=y

but otherwise it's a stock Fedora install.

the full log and configs can be found at:

this is a v2.6.17 showstopper i guess?
