Is your subnet flooded when these warnings occur? Is the remove side system wedged or at a very high load when the message triggers? All of these would be useful points of information to determine if this might be normal or not. In theory, if the remove port the device is connected to gets extremely congested, emits a pause frame to your machine, but never releases that pause, this (new) warning could trigger. This warning was added by Arjan in 2.6.25 FYI in order to diagnose the not-normal cases better. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
