That was on vanilla 2.6.31.5.

I tried 2.6.31.5 before with patches 1+2 and netconsole enabled and
still got the order-1 failures (apparently I get order-1 failures
with netconsole and order-0 failures without).

Maybe I should try again on 2.6.30 without netconsole und try
increasing min_free_kbytes until the allocation failures
disappear and try to bisect again with that setting...

* [PATCH] support static-only systems
From: Mike Frysinger @ 2009-11-06 11:09 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: stephen.hemminger, netdev

The iptables code supports a "no shared libs" mode where it can be used
without requiring dlfcn related functionality.  This adds similar support
to iproute2 so that it can easily be used on systems like nommu Linux (but
obviously with a few limitations -- no dynamic plugins).

Rather than modify every location that uses dlfcn.h, I hooked the dlfcn.h
header with stub functions when shared library support is disabled.  Then
symbol lookup is done via a local static lookup table (which is generated
automatically at build time) so that internal symbols can be found.

Thanks for pointing this out.
This is a quite old code section which is not used very often at runtime - and
usually the netdevice is not removed at that time ;-)

Btw. this is no excuse for that missing locking, sorry.

Thanks for the fix!

Compiled and tested successfully.

* [PATCH v2] arpd/ifstat/nstat/rtacct: use daemon()
From: Mike Frysinger @ 2009-11-06 11:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: stephen.hemminger, netdev
In-Reply-To: <1257344795-8665-3-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org>

A bunch of misc utils basically reimplement the daemon() function (the
whole fork/close/chdir/etc...).  Rather than do that, use daemon() as
that will work under nommu Linux systems that lack fork().

David

A more elegant patch will be possible for 2.6.33, but for 2.6.32,
I think following patch is needed (Please note I did not test it)

(More elegant : use RCU lookups ;) , I'll wait for net-next-2.6 
 upgrade as well)

Thanks

[PATCH] can: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks

bcm_proc_getifname() is called with RTNL and dev_base_lock
not held. It calls __dev_get_by_index() without locks, and
this is illegal (might crash)

Close the race by holding dev_base_lock and copying dev->name
in the protected section.

Is that a vanilla, with patches 1-3 applied or both?

To be honest, it's not entirely unexpected with min_free_kbytes set that
low. The system should cope with a certain amount of pressure but with
pressure and a low min_free_kbytes, the system will simply be reacting
too late to free memory in the non-atomic paths.

As a distribution developer I highly value solutions like this which do
not require patching every application which deals with interface names
and then teaching users about aliases which only work in some places and
are unknown to the kernel.

[PATCH] decnet: netdevice refcount leak

This nasty bug can be used to hold refcounts on any !DECNET netdevice.

I think the current code is much easier to understand than
your version.

Getting rid of the useless return value is fine, but the
new do{}while() loop et al. is less readable to me.

I'm not applying these two patches, sorry.
