Over the past week or so, I have noticed an intermittent log dump from my DIR-xxx router sitting behind a Telus Actiontec modem.
The log is filled with lines such as:
user.err kernel: debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:2472.
At first I thought my router had gone 'south' because the dumps arrived regularly. After a day or two, the log dumps seemed to stop, then start up again for a short time.
The last few days, things have been quiet and the router seems to work as expected.
A scan of my system did not turn up anything unexpected.
The nagging question now is, was this a sign of someone 'probing' the router after getting into the Actiontec.
I have seen some reports that these modem are not very secure, though Telus is very reticent to talk about it.
Any comments or suggestions?
