Message-ID: <1315601283.91185.YahooMailNeo@web113908.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 13:48:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Kumar S <ps2kumar@...oo.com> To: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> Cc: "netdev@...r.kernel.org" <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: Memory leak in ip_dst_cache Hi Eric, I did not flush those routes explicitly. They are flushed out automatically by calling "rt_run_flush". It inturn calls rt_free(), but __cache_free() never gets called after that. Basically, I have 512 MBytes of memory on board. I want to restrict the cache to around 64k, with max_size. But if I do that due to this leak, TCP/IP communication stops working when it reaches 64k.

When you "ip route flush cache", busy dst are all invalidated. "ip route ls cache" doesnt output invalidated dsts. As soon as tcp session will try to send a packet, it will notice the dst is obsolete and 'free' it. > -sh-2.05b# > -sh-2.05b# grep . /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/* > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/error_burst:1250 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/error_cost:250 > grep: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush: Permission denied > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_elasticity:8 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval:60 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_min_interval:0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_min_interval_ms:500 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_thresh:16384 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout:300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_delay:10 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_size:2097152 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_adv_mss:256 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_delay:2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_pmtu:552 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/mtu_expires:600 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_load:5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_number:9 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_silence:5120 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/secret_interval:600 > -sh-2.05b# rtstat -c10 -i1 > rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache|rt_cache| > entries| in_hit|in_slow_|in_slow_|in_no_ro| in_brd|in_marti|in_marti| out_hit|out_slow|out_slow|gc_total|gc_ignor|gc_goal_|gc_dst_o|in_hlist|out_hlis| > | | tot| mc| ute| | an_dst| an_src| | _tot| _mc| | ed| miss| verflow| _search|t_search| > 11675| 27700| 101014| 0| 0| 130| 0| 0| 36284| 23436| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 9658| 23140| > 11675| 6| 18| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 2| 10| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 8| 18| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 6| 18| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 4| 16| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 4| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 8| 12| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 6| 10| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 2| 14| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > 11675| 8| 12| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 2| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| 0| > -sh-2.05b# > > Thats pretty low ip route usage, you dont need to tweak your tunables.
