Thanks! We definitely see that the bug is a race, not a broken logic. I am
almost sure, that you are experiencing the same bug as I described in
the beginning of the thread.
Although there is no yet fix available for race between 'arp -d' and
outgoing packet, there is one for race between incoming ARP reply and
outgoing packet. We will probably commit it soon, after more review.
Sorry to say, but it looks like debug.mpsafenet=0 reduced the frequency
of the problem, but did not eliminate it. The system crashed and hung
again over the weekend with very little load. There was no kernel panic,
so no core files.
I can leave 5.4 on this system for a week or so before installing 4.11,
if you want me to continue doing diagnostics on it.
