Subject: ip_vs_lblcr logic error causing table flushing
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 16:38:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091105003801.GA20042@hostway.ca> (raw)

[ Resent with a reasonable subject and to lvs-devel :) ]

Hello!

I was noticing a significant amount of what seems/seemed to be
destination lists with multiple entries with the lblcr LVS algorithm. 
While tracking it down, I think I stumbled over a mistake.  In
ip_vs_lblcr_full_check(), it appears the time check logic is reversed:

        for (i=0, j=tbl->rover; i<IP_VS_LBLCR_TAB_SIZE; i++) {
                j = (j + 1) & IP_VS_LBLCR_TAB_MASK;

                write_lock(&svc->sched_lock);
                list_for_each_entry_safe(en, nxt, &tbl->bucket[j], list) {
                        if (time_after(en->lastuse+sysctl_ip_vs_lblcr_expiration,
                                       now))
                                continue;
                        
                        ip_vs_lblcr_free(en);
                        atomic_dec(&tbl->entries);
                }
                write_unlock(&svc->sched_lock);
        }

Shouldn't this be "time_before"?  It seems that it currently nukes all
recently-used entries every time this function is called, which seems to
be every 30 minutes, rather than removing the not-recently-used ones.

If my reading is correct, this patch should fix it.  Am I missing
something?

Cheers,

Simon-
