Hi, > Gerd, in change 11196:b85da7cd9ea5 "front: Fix rx buffer leak when > tearing down an interface." you added a call to > "add_id_to_freelist(np->rx_skbs, id);". However, rx_skbs doesn't have > an extra entry for the list head, and there's never any corresponding > get_id_from_freelist(np->rx_skbs). What should it be? The function has an effect in page flipping mode only. It walks the whole list of rx skbufs (id is the loop variable ...), checks whenever they are handed out to the frontend driver to fill in packet data and not returned yet, and if so reclaim them ... >>> + err = xenbus_scanf(XBT_NIL, np->xbdev->otherend, >>> + "feature-rx-flip", "%u", &feature_rx_flip); >>> + if (err != 1)>>> + feature_rx_flip = 1;>>> >> This second one deserves a comment. If it doesn't set feature_rx_flip >> it's *on*? Historical reasons> > Guess so. It defaults to flip. I simplified the rx_copy/flip module > parameter to a simple rx_mode=0/1, but this is preserved from the > original. My guess is that originally there was only flip, and copy was > added later. Yep, page flipping is the old (pre xen 3.0.3) way, copy was added (and made the default) later. cheers, Gerd - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
