The following situation: Kernel 2.1.26 as NFS client Kernel 2.0.28 as NFS server A buggy 10BaseT Hub inbetween which gave an ernomous RX packet error rate on the NFS server.
The 2.1.26 kernel crashed in ip_fragment.c around line 565 in the statement:
if (tfp->next != NULL) tmp->next->prev = tmp->prev;
The tfp variable was a NULL pointer (verified with a printk).
The crash occured when accessing files on the NFS server from the 2.1.26 client. The other clients which run 2.0.28 were not effected, except a horrible performance loss.
I have no idea how to fix the problem. I'm also not able to reproduce this bugs, because this means to cripple our network (and the CBIT in Germany is near).
