Hi, all: I encountered a problem of using sk_buff. I used 2.4.20 kernel, when burst traffic come, the kernel will complain a bug report at skbuff.c:316 later: 311 void __kfree_skb(struct sk_buff *skb) 312 { 313 if (skb->list) { 314 printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning: kfree_skb passed an skb still " 315 "on a list (from %p).\n", NET_CALLER(skb)); 316 BUG(); /* HERE!!! */ 317 } /* snip some code here */ 332 } I saw the dev_kfree_skb_irq() and dev_kfree_skb_irq(), and how to use them. even, in fact, we work in pure poll I/O model, so the NIC can not issue any interrupt. And, I searched google, there are many similar reports like above, but almost of them have no reply. I think there may have some unknown thing while sk_buff API. Well, I hope know, are there some preconditions of calling alloc_skb() or *_kfree_skb_*() ? Thank in advanced. Good luck. - Yu Li - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
