Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
It seems that https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5260is reproducible on VirtualBox 4.1.6 too. Host is Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with 24Cpus and 64Gb of RAM running mix of OpenSuse 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.10 guests.
From the log:
1277948.040050] [<ffffffff81469700>] alloc_skb+0x80/0x190 [1277948.040051] [<ffffffff8146a5b6>] skb_copy+0x36/0xa0 [1277948.040059] [<ffffffffa00ac3a8>] vboxNetFltLinuxPacketHandler+0x98/0x5c0 [vboxnetflt] [1277948.040062] [<ffffffff81019e79>] ? read_tsc+0x9/0x20 [1277948.040065] [<ffffffff81473f19>] dev_queue_xmit_nit+0x129/0x190
Wondering if GSO off trick will help.

It also reproduces on VirtualBox 4.0.16. Host is Ubuntu 10.04 64bits running on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz. Guest is Ubuntu 10.04 32bit

We're having the same problem with a CentOS 6.2 (x86-64) host and some Linux and Windows guests with Virtualbox 4.1.10r76795. The machine has 32GB of RAM and is using the e1000e network driver. Kernel version is 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64.
The relevant part of stack trace is always:
[<ffffffff81422a86>] ? skb_copy+0x36/0xa0 [<ffffffffa04883a8>] ? vboxNetFltLinuxPacketHandler+0x98/0x5b0 [vboxnetflt] [<ffffffff8142c715>] ? dev_hard_start_xmit+0x155/0x3f0 [<ffffffff81449c2a>] ? sch_direct_xmit+0x15a/0x1c0 [<ffffffff81430f78>] ? dev_queue_xmit+0x4b8/0x6b0
The problem can be triggered by heavy usage of the NFS server running on the same host.
sadly, GSO off trick did not help too... Now tried to increase vm.min_free_kbytes to 65535 and will see if this will help
