Message-Id: <20150227.123831.436431838595846209.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:38:31 -0500 (EST) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: vadim4j@...il.com Cc: stephen@...workplumber.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH iproute2 v4] lib: Replace 16384 netlink buf size by macro From: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@...il.com> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 08:31:40 +0200 > From: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@...il.com> > > Replaced hard coded 16384 netlink buffer size by NLBUF_SIZE, > which can be overridden by -DNLBUF_SIZE. > > Signed-off-by: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@...il.com> I would like to know what problem is solved by changing this to any other value? And then I would like to know why other potential solutions to this problem were not considered, such as making the buffer size dynamic and run-time selectable, perhaps with a size choosen in a manner to avoid whatever problem you hit with the current size. -- 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
