Thanks for posting it to the systemtap wiki.

Some minor style suggestions follow:

[...]
         ifxmit_p[pid(), dev_name] ++
         ifxmit_b[pid(), dev_name] += length

These could be collapsed into a single statistics-aggregate array: # ifxmit[pid(), dev_name] <<< length
Then the printing routine would use @count(ifxmit[...]) and @sum(ifxmit[...])
to extract the two values.  Same of course for ifrecv.

I tried that and got the following output:

  PID   UID DEV     XMIT_PK RECV_PK XMIT_KB RECV_KB COMMAND
    0     0 eth0          9      10     486     672 swapper
ERROR: empty aggregate near identifier 'execname' at nettop.stp:35:4
WARNING: Number of errors: 1, skipped probes: 0

Apparently using @sum on empty aggregates isn't allowed. I expected 0's to be returned. The only way to avoid the error is use @sum only if @count > 0, which makes the printf too complex in my opinion.


         execname[pid()] = execname()
         user[pid()] = uid()
         ifdevs[pid(), dev_name] = dev_name

Calling pid() so many times is worse than calling it once and caching
the result in a local variable ("p = pid()").

Agreed.  I'll change that.


The way that the script tracks pid-to-uid and pid-to-execname mappings
is not bad, though if that part were moved to new probes on fork or
exec, it would allow the network-related probes to run concurrently on
an SMP without fighting over locks.

But that would only catch processes created after the script starts, correct?
