Subject: Re: Understanding the reason for placing a tcp_sock on stack in tcp network functions
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 07:13:48 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <39e6f6c70503010213214101a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1109638277.9693.15.camel@base.torri.org>

This is not the case for at least some of these functions:

ChangeSet@1.2035.2.55, 2005-02-22 10:48:28-08:00, acme@conectiva.com.br
  [TCP]: Fix excessive stack usage resulting in OOPS with 4KSTACKS.

  Various routines were putting a full struct tcp_sock on
  the local stack.  What they really wanted was a subset
  of this information when doing TCP options processing
  when we only have a mini-socket (for example in SYN-RECVD
  and TIME_WAIT states).

  Therefore pull out the needed information into a sub-struct
  and use that in the TCP options processing routines.
