Hmmm i was not aware of that :(
Was puzzled me most is that I did not notice any problem before 2.6.14 !
Do you know if these patches will be included in the official kernel
tree one day ? It would be really useful !
Also another user on the StrongSwan mailing list has reported hard
crashes of his boxes once he upgraded to kernel 2.6.14
Have you gotten other reports of similar problems ? Again, it's working
fine for him on 2.6.13 and crashes 100% of the time on 2.6.14 after a
few hours of usage.
I'm CCing him so that you can investigate the problem together....
Thanks again.
