# This is a BitKeeper generated diff -Nru style patch. # # ChangeSet # 2005/03/03 23:15:48+01:00 ak@suse.de # [NETFILTER]: Reduce netfilter memory use on MP systems # # On kernels compiled with a big NR_CPUS netfilter rules would # eat a lot of memory because all counters would be duplicated # for all NR_CPUs CPUs. With NR_CPUS=256 this would add up # to many MBs of memory. # # This patch only allocates enough memory for the possible CPUs, # which is usually a much smaller number than NR_CPUS. # # This allows loading of bigger rule sets on 64bit systems. # There is still a limit because someone else broke vmalloc to have a 64MB # limit on 64bit systems for single allocations, 129MB on 32bit. # It allocates an array of pages with kmalloc and kmalloc has a 128K limit. # To be fixed with a separate patch. # # 64bit systems were hurt worst because they tend to have big NR_CPUS # and the counters need more memory there, and the vmalloc limit is lower. # But it will raise the limits even on 32bit. # # And in general it saves a lot of memory. # # Tested only on a small dual CPU box. # # Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen # Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy # # net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c # 2005/03/03 23:15:40+01:00 ak@suse.de +5 -5 # [NETFILTER]: Reduce netfilter memory use on MP systems # # On kernels compiled with a big NR_CPUS netfilter rules would # eat a lot of memory because all counters would be duplicated # for all NR_CPUs CPUs.
