| |
Hi,
One of our client's machines sometimes hits the BUG() in xfrm_state.c (line 54). This seems to happen at the removal of a IPsec policy. Some data: kernel 2.6.6. with Netfilter POM IPSEC-patches, ipsec-tools 0.2.3.
If I read the code correctly this would mean that the garbage collector tries to stop an earlier deactivated timer. (del_timer returning '0')
Does anybody know what causes this? And, is a kernel BUG not a bit too drastic for this error condition? Wouln't a WARN_ON suffice?
Thanks in advance, Greetings, Ludo Stellingwerff.
