    Subject[REGRESSION] Kernel 3.6 drops network packets instead of forwarding
    Date
    Hello,

    I have a network issue with kernel 3.6. My machine is set
    up as router and with 3.6 it sometimes silently drops reply
    packets instead of forwarding.
    Example tcpdump on the router for ping www.heise.de from a
    machine in my network (NAT is done elsewhere):

    12:37:54.746627 IP 192.168.255.150 > 193.99.144.85: ICMP echo request, id 16414, seq 1, length 64 (eth0)
    12:37:54.746681 IP 192.168.255.150 > 193.99.144.85: ICMP echo request, id 16414, seq 1, length 64 (GRE tunnel)
    12:37:54.782195 IP 193.99.144.85 > 192.168.255.150: ICMP echo reply, id 16414, seq 1, length 64 (GRE tunnel)
    12:37:54.782335 IP 193.99.144.85 > 192.168.255.150: ICMP echo reply, id 16414, seq 1, length 64 (eth0)
    12:37:55.785974 IP 192.168.255.150 > 193.99.144.85: ICMP echo request, id 16416, seq 1, length 64 (eth0)
    12:37:55.786023 IP 192.168.255.150 > 193.99.144.85: ICMP echo request, id 16416, seq 1, length 64 (GRE tunnel)
    12:37:55.822529 IP 193.99.144.85 > 192.168.255.150: ICMP echo reply, id 16416, seq 1, length 64 (GRE tunnel)
    NO forwarded packet on eth0

    Then this goes on for an arbitrary period (between a few seconds and
    more then half an hour) and suddenly returns to normal. During that
    time no communication is possible between a host on my network and
    any external host. Connections from the router itself still work.
    With kernel 3.4.3 everything works fine. Had the same issue with
    -rc6 and -rc7.

    There are no messages in the logs. Any idea what might cause this
    or how I can debug it any further?
    I will supply more details on my setup if needed. Please CC me in
    your reply as I am not subscribed to the list.

    Thanks in advance
    Georg Chini
