Running snmpd or httpd overnight causes this oops: (kernel BUG at /home/brian/linux/include/linux/dcache.h:251! - in dget() called from d_alloc()) Occasionally I see: de_put: entry net already free! before the oops. I've been able to reliably reproduce the problem in 15 minutes by running this instead: while /bin/true; do cat /proc/net/* 2>/dev/null > /tmp/junk; done; The system fails when trying to open /proc/net/tcp, for example, and finds that net has a zero dentry->d_count. 2.4.3 on a PPC405, with root fs (ext2) on ramdisk. Any ideas on why this is happening? The system is stable otherwise.
