Unused sockets get closed (after 6 to 12 minutes) So the fact that this changes the behavior means that sk_inuse is taking on negative values. This can't be right--how can something like svc_sock_put() (which does an atomic_dec_and_test) work in that case? I wish I had time today to figure out what's going on in this case. But from a quick through svsock.c for sk_inuse, it looks odd; I'm suspicious of anything without the stereotyped behavior--initializing to one, atomic_inc()ing whenever someone takes a reference, and atomic_dec_and_test()ing whenever someone drops it.... --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
