I have to agree that the impact is small even for the people using ISO recv - I happen to use it quite frequently and it hasn't locked up on me yet. So I certainly don't need it fixed atm. It's just the "dmesg annoyance" if you will, to deal with :) ! > I'm not sure, but I looked through the code and it seems to allocate: > - 16 buffers of 2x PAGE_SIZE (= 131072 on i386) > - 16 buffers of PAGE_SIZE (= 65536 on i386) > - various other smaller structures. OTOH, if it allocates so much of memory while irqs disabled and holding locks, isn't there a good chance for the allocator to sleep and things to go wrong?
