Subject: reserving skbuffs for the drivers
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 14:03:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DB31A32.9020107@candelatech.com> (raw)
I'm getting dropped rx packets because the network
driver cannot allocate an skbuf in time, evidently....
I have 256MB of RAM, is there some way to increase the amount of RAM
that the kernel keeps around for GFP_ATOMIC allocations?
Documentation I find talks about buffermem and freepages, which looks
hopeful, but they appear to no longer be in the proc file system as
tunables???
