hello, I have a netmap application which has host mode bridge/fwd, with default settings I have the following error some often:
884.260394 [2950] netmap_transmit igb1 from_host, drop packet size 2962 > 2048 the only application which relies on host mode is bird, so those packets are probably from bird daemon, when I get those errors I get bird sessions failing and restart I raised dev.netmap.buf_size to 5000 it ajusted to 5120, things got better but I still have logs: netmap_transmit igb1 from_host, drop packet size 5858 > 5120 Now the main question is, when dev.netmap.buf_size is 2048 the application uses 1.3G of RAM but when I raise to 5120 it uses 3G of RAM. So I need to understand, is this packet size really related from what I get from the application packets coming from host to netmap? If so can I allow for bigger sizes, like 16k (lo0 mtu) without pre-alloc so much more RAM? thank you E.
