NetTime module causes mbuf leak
Rik Griffin (98) 264 posts |
I’m without an internet connection to my RO machine at the mo, but it’s still on a local network. I noticed the machine running out of mbufs over an hour or so. Narrowed it down to the NetTime module – presumably if it fails to contact the time server it does not clean up after itself properly – although I haven’t checked the code to see what’s going on. |

Did you get any further with this? I can’t recreate it here: I set up a machine with a live network (can ping other machines) but no gateway defined so it can’t resolve to the outside world. Also – NetTime doesn’t use mbufs directly, so if there is something odd I suspect a simpler test case can be created by just resolving bum addresses. Which platform was this on? Incase it’s the ethernet driver doing the leaking – I was testing on EtherH on a Risc PC. |
