Hello everybody,
I'm running Linux 2.6.8.1+pom20040621+imq+... as a firewall and router on a
2MBit/s leased line to our ISP. After about 24 hours I get loads of "dst
cache overflow" messages and extreme packet loss occurs on all routed
connections - bridges continue to work.

submitted to iproute2 maintainer)

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_size is 16384
By increasing that value I can delay the moment the machine starts to drop
packets - but it will happen anyways.
One thing that astonishes me is that "ip route ls cache" shows only about 350
entries. Shouldn't that be more like 15000 as rtstat tells?
The rest of the mail shows the excact setup of the machine - I bet it is one
of the more complex firewalls around :-)
- Machine has four ethernet devices
- Several ppp devices for PPTP tunnels
- one PPP device for DSL (second ISP connection, used to route P2P-Traffic via
MASQ, Packets are marked via fwmark 0x10)
- several tun devices for OpenVPN tunnels
- several tap devices...

Routing is done between br50, brwave, ppp-dsl and the different pptp tunnel
ends.

The number of packets that hits the route hash is about the same as the
number of packets that misses it. (hit/tot)
Either your route hash is so small in that case increase rhash_entries.
Or you are receiving a DoS attack.
I've sent a new version rtstat to Stepfen Hemminger.

Neither is the case. I have now logged into that box and did some
further analysis. There definitely is a dst_entry leak somewhere in
the kernel. the number of entries in ip_dst_cache slab is constantly
increasing, now just before rebooting the box it had approached about
65k.
At least when you manuall flush the cache, the number of allocated
ip_dst_entries from slab should decrease...
After the reboot (uptime 4 hours at this point):
according to /proc/slabinfo, there's 7530 entries allocated
If you cat /proc/net/rt_cache, you see about 1990 entries.
I've added a patch to export the number of dst_entries that are sitting
in the dst_garbage_list, it's 5549. This value is increasing constantly
over time. Coincidentially, if we subtract 7530-1990 we get almost
exactly this number.
I bet that something inside the kernel forgets dst_release().. IMQ is
just compiled, not used (so I don't see how it should come from this).
Any comments, suggestions?
If nothing else helps, I will add a seq_file interface to
dst_garbage_list and try to find some similarity betwen the stale
entries in order to get a clue about what's going on.

btw: The system was runnign 2.4.x until about two weeks ago... with no
dst_cache problems.

Most likely it is a leak like that, yes.
Here is my suggstion for debugging this:
1) Boot with profile=2 or similar.
2) Disable the platform code that bumps the profiling
counters at the timer interrupt.
3) Make every piece of which gets or puts a dst entry
reference pass it's PC to some function which
increments the profile buffer entry. (use
current_text_addr())
Then after running for some time use readprofile to figure
out what subsystem or area is causing the references.

Have you tried without imq ?

as stated in my other mail, imq is actually patched in the source, but
not used on the running system. Since no imq code is executed, and I
cannot see any place where imq changes core networking code, I doubt it
has any relation to this problem.
