Re: GET BUF: dmamap load failure - 12 + kernel panic [was: NETIO UDP benchmark problem]

I changed subject to better describing one, because it is not problem in 
netio itself.

Did you ifconfig down + up igb1 or igb0? As you said "server stopped 
responding on public interface", but you have igb0 marked as public 
interface and igb1 as private crosslink interface in ifconfig above.

Are you really saying that heavy UDP load on private interface igb1 
caused freez of public interface igb0 and then kernel panic?

Did you run it as root or regular user?

Can you add output of netstat -m right before interface freez / kernel 
panic?

And last - can you reproduce it with kernel with debugging options enabled?
