Subject: Very long list of struct dst_entry in dst_garbage_list
Date: Fri, 05 May 2006 18:13:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <445B79AA.7030209@cosmosbay.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <445B11A3.1020407@cosmosbay.com>
I noticed that after a 'ip route flush cache' (manual or timer
triggered) on a busy server, XXXXX entries are added to dst_garbage_list.
(XXXXX depends on the number of established sockets)
Every 1/10th second (DST_GC_MIN) , net/core/dst.c::dst_run_gc() is
fired, and try to free some entries from the list, but many entries have
a non null refcnt and stay in the list for the next run.
Linux version is 2.6.17-rc3.
Do you think a rework of dst_run_gc() function is necessary, (using a
batch mode to limit the number of entries examined at each run), or is
it a "should not happen, something is broken" situation ?
Eric
