Question: is it normal for ipv6 module to have many refs while there is few ipv6 connections ? My system is up for 3 days now. I have been using ACPI sleep and _ifconfig to alter the ip address_. lsmod gives: ipv6 235904 34 and lsof -i6 only shows two ports listening on ipv6. Even when I close all tcp (including v4) sockets, ipv6 still has around 10 refs in lsmod. Ten days ago (with -test7) I used to have a broken script for sshd that tried to bind to ipv6 every 20 mins. The result was that the count for ipv6.ko would reach as high as 900 w/o any bound sockets. Does that constitute a leak?
In other news, I haven't managed to trace the bug behind 'lockd', but I guess it's time I ask about it. After about 4 days uptime [1], both in -test7 and -test9, lockd BUGs at 'module.h, 296' . After that, nfs becomes unusable[2] and I have to reboot the kernel. The BUG is hit while I try to mount a nfs partition, which is being served by another 2.6 machine [3]. I can only report that this has happened. It may be related to the ipv6 leak, I guess..
[1] Every day, I switch from my home net to my work's net and back. I use ifconfig new_ip for that. [2] lockd freezes, the 'mount' process gets <defunct> and nfs cannot be unloaded. [3] At work, I mount nfs partitions to a *nix environment. I have not yet seen lockd freeze there.
