Hi,

I have a customer who uses XEN on FC6.  This particular virtual
triggers a bug in the networking code after several hours of heavy
network use.

The network stops operating, and the console shows messages like
this:
   printk: 2 messages suppressed.
   netfront: rx->offset: 10, size: 4294967295
   printk: 1 messages suppressed.
   netfront: rx->offset: 10, size: 4294967295
   printk: 4 messages suppressed.
   netfront: rx->offset: 10, size: 4294967295
   printk: 3 messages suppressed.
   netfront: rx->offset: 10, size: 4294967295

Up/down the network doesn't help - the domU requires a reboot.
   
A search reveals a bug fix here:
  http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2006-08/msg00298.html

Upgrading the domU kernel didn't help.

I've downloaded the source for the kernel and confirmed that this
patch is in place.

The current kernel for the domU is now: 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6xen

Any suggestions or other patches available?
