Subject: PATCH: Fix up VLAN memory leaks
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 00:53:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DC8D871.9080106@candelatech.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 636 bytes --]
The first patch makes VLAN code quieter w/regard to the /var/log/messages
output.
The second fixes what I believe are two memory/resource leaks.
I ran a perl script that created and destroyed thousands of VLANs...and
my box is still standing, so I think the changes are good... Please
look them over for sanity though, I may be mis-understanding some
of Dave's changes...
Patches are against 2.4.20-rc1
Thanks,
Ben
