The following message floods the logs of my openvpn server when openvpn running Aug 1 07:05:57 moriah PROTO=17 127.0.0.1:34977 127.0.0.1:53 L=63 S=0x00 I=41527 F=0x4000 T=64 Aug 1 07:05:57 moriah ip_local_deliver: bad skb: PRE_ROUTING LOCAL_IN LOCAL_OUT POST_ROUTING Aug 1 07:05:57 moriah skb: pf=2 (unowned) dev=lo len=181 Found http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/18/27 which point to a patch in the netfilter area as being responsible. Posting here so its monitored/fixed for gentoo-sources. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Only the server does it. I dont know if its something that is specific to my setup or not. Basicly makes logging useless due to the flood, slows throughput etc. Present only when openvpn is running.
I don't think this problem has anything to do with `openvpn'; I am not running `openvpn' and still I have been getting similar messages. Furthermore, my x86 Gentoo (2.6.12-r4) is free from this annoyance, and only my amd64 Gentoo (2.6.12-r6) is affected.
Correct, I am getting for other apps, and also on the loopback and each eth & tun interfaces running. Found some mention of this on the forums as well - no fixes tho. Just tried -r7 from ~x86 and it does mention a fix for for "skb", but the errors keep rolling on ... BillK
Is this reproducable on the latest development kernel (currently vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc4)?
No, this kernel seems quiet - been on it for ~1 hr and no messages. BillK
The solution on 2.6.12 is to completely disable CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG. This has been completely removed in 2.6.13.
