Hi, 
 
I'm using linux 2.6.21.5 and our kernel is freeze.
 
The problem I'm facing is, when I create a software bridge using $brctl
command. and add two interfaces say, eth0.0 and eth0.1, this way...

$brctl addbr br-lan
$brctl addif br-lan eth0.0
$brctl addif br-lan eth0.1
 
When I send traffic from a host connected to one port to host connected
at other at or above end 60Mbits/sec ,
 soon all the memory is dried up/consumed and and system crashes.
 
Observation:
On initial start up:
$cat /proc/slabinfo | grep skbuff_head_cache
skbuff_head_cache    120    120    192   20    1 : tunables  120   60
0 : slabdata      6
 
Before crash:
$cat /proc/slabinfo | grep skbuff_head_cache
skbuff_head_cache   4260   4260    192   20    1 : tunables  120   60
0 : slabdata    213    213      0

Can any one help me to refer to some patch or point to some location in
code from where memory is failed to deallocate.
 
Thanks,
Sharad.
