In this case, I added the rules the morning, but there was no traffic
flowing through the machine. That evening we redirected traffic through the
box (so HTB obviously kicked in). About 10 minutes later it crashed.
I think the only common thing I've seen so far is that it crashes when htb
is actually doing a lot of shaping/prioritizing - that doesn't help much.
Also, if I compile the kernel with all debugging enabled (CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB,
etc) I can reliably trigger the BUG() on line 1263 in mm/slab.c - don't know
if this is related to the HTB problem - I've tested this on many different
machines with many different kernels. If I disable CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, I
don't get that (obviously). The first crash since I've started disabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB on our Linux QoS boxes have been this one.
