WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:453 tcp_retransmit_timer

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • I can see that we were working with a NULL value in GPR30 (coming from GPR04) when we panicked at include/linux/skbuff.h: 1140. Those registers were being manipulated in __tcp_retransmit_skb at net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: 2876.
  • WARNING: CPU: 84 PID: 1470539 at net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:453 tcp_retransmit_timer+0x220/0xd30, followed by an outage and reboot.
