I had initially sent my traces to the Xen guys.  They have not stated it is
NOT specific to Xen, just that's it's unlikely.  I did not experience the
problem with kernel 2.6.12, just with 2.6.16 (up to .13 bugfix release).  I
have completely disabled all support for SCTP (protocol/netfilter/conntrack)
as I know it is still quite buggy.  I know Xen touches the network code a lot,
but nothing specific to iptables.  I had contacted them twice before LKML as I
didn't want to post patch specific problems here.  I have no other patches
applied besides the Xen patch.

My ruleset is pretty bland.  2 rules in the raw table to tell the system to
only track my forwarded ports, 2 rules in the nat table for forwarding
(intercepting) 2 ports, and then in the FORWARD tables 2 rules per VM to just
account traffic.

Can you try using a different NIC?


This happens on 30 different hosts. Using the same kernel I get varying uptime of "hasn't crashed since the upgrade to 2.6.16" to "crashes every day". All are Tyan S2882D boards w/ integrated Tigon3. The trace I posted to this thread indicate tg3, but in many other traces I have the trace doesn't include any driver calls. They all panic in ipt_do_table. I would have pasted the others, but I didn't save the System.map for either of them and they are all pretty similar.

Here is another that just crashed:
