Subject: Question regarding do_tcp_sendpages, tcp_current_mss and eff_sacks
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 16:03:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40818D9A.9030002@acm.org> (raw)
I am trying to use do_tcp_sendpages() to stream some data from within
the Linux Redhat kernel 2.4.20 (it is an smp kernel running on a
uniprocessor). After a while this function returns an error value of
-512. This error value makes no sense to me. A little debugging showed
that tcp_current_mss() returns negative values. In particular, for the
socket to which do_tcp_sendpages() is sending data, tp->eff_sacks has
the value 200. This makes the value returned by tcp_current_mss be -156
(1448 - 4 - 200 * 8). Is this value reasonable? I think this value is
causing do_tcp_sendpages() to return a large negative value.
Thanks for any help/suggestions. Please CC your post to me personally.
Thanks
