I'm running a SMP maschine (2 CPUs) configured as a router. During heavy
traffic kernel dies with following message:

Following patch fixes the problem but I do not know if it is a good sollution.
From: Frank Blaschka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
neigh_update sends skb from neigh->arp_queue while
neigh_timer_handler has increased skbs refcount and calls
solicit with the skb. Do not send neighbour skbs
marked for solicit (skb_shared).
