Hi,
I have searched for a description for the above mentioned bug report,
but havent found any. Can you tell me?
The reason why I am asking that I am facing a similar problem on
kernel 2.6.10. During performance tests (Intel XEON, SMP, PCI-X,
e1000, 2 - 4 Gig RAM) the machine was out of memory.
Tests showed that LowFree went linearly down to a few megabytes, where
most of the memory was used in skb_head_cache and size-1024 slab
caches. These two summed up to ~270 MG, which was the reason for
that.
/proc/net/tcp showed that most of the memory was stuck in the RX
queues of some processes (two processes with ~1000 sockets each).
A look into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem showed that that the values in
there were way to high. I hope that a reduction of these values will
help (not done yet).
