> Hmm. totally shafted? just that?
o TCP randomly leaks memory in 2.0.30 for no known reason - not occuring in 2.0.29 o /proc/net/* Oops erratically. Trying to pin this down seems bh_atomic isnt. Not occuring in 2.0.29 o TCP can get trapped spamming the network with packets. Not occuring in 2.0.29 * tcpdumping a transparent proxy floods the network with wrong packets also in 2.0.2x o Appletalk panics with a localtalk device loaded. Also in 2.0.2x * Dumping a masquerading ipip tunnel crashes the machine. Also in 2.0.2x o Bridging leaks memory in 2.0.30 even tho the same code does not in 2.0.29 o Random tcp crashes under high connection load irrespective of syn-cookies/rst-cookies - looks like the hash is a problem. Not in 2.0.29 o Occasional oopses caused by timer list corruption when handling fragmentation bombs. No apparent cause. Doesn't occur in 2.0.29 o Transparent proxy redirections are broken. Working in 2.0.29 * PPP memory scribble - Eric has found this one o Memory leak with multicasting enabled in 2.0.30 - not in 2.0.29 but I can't duplicate this one yet.
And a few others. The ones marked "*" are fixed
