The reproduction so far is simply to boot Debian 6.12.111-1 with this normal network configuration and workload. On one host it reproduced after about 20 minutes; on another it reproduced almost immediately. We have also seen a previous occurrence after several hours, so we do not yet have a deterministic packet-level trigger. > Given the VLAN configuration, Eric's patch looks especially relevant. I'll test 6.12.111 with that patch first as you suggested and report whether the failure still reproduces. Seems likely you are hitting the bug Eric just fixed, IMHO. If his patch resolves your issue, please let me know.
