Hi!
There was a sugestion to change slab to slub alocation method... I
don't know quite well yet what is necessary to do this, but it seems that the
current implementation of slub is more commonly available on 2.6 kernels, not
in 2.4 that I use :(...
Any guesses or hints on this?
Regards!
Filipe.

Hi,
I think I have the same problem here with all versions of the 2.6.x kernel
series (tested with kernel v2.6.8/14/16/18/25 on a PPC7455 machine with
different PCI network cards by transferring a big file over NFS/SCP). Data
corruption occurs under high load, but I don't get any kernel oops.
regards,
Gerhard
