HZ=1000 and NFS

2002-02-25 Thread Richard A Steenbergen
Is anyone aware of problems with HZ=1000 and NFS? I was playing around with Luigi's device polling and had no problems (and significant performance improvement under heavy network load), except for one server doing NFS. After playing around with it for a bit I found that it worked perfectly if

[PATCH] comment for struct inpcb (netinet/in_pcb.h)

Hi all, I have a small patch to add a comment to struct inpcb, explaining the role of member "vflag" (IP version flag, v4/v6). It took me a while to figure it out so I think it might be better to explicitly explain it. If you are wondering when it has been introduced, here are the results of my

There used to be, long ago, some problems with HZ=1000 which were related to some diskless stuff -- now i forget the details but i believe it was some timeout field or the like overflowing. This was fixed years ago, though, and i believe the relevant code was in /sys/nfs/bootp_subr.c and related o

In our recent tests of gigabit ethernet, cards with the BCM5700 chipset, offered the best performance. The two cards which satisfy that are the 3c996-T and one of the SysKonnect (sp?) cards. If you try hard (pricewatch) you can still find vendors willing to sell the 3c996-T instead of its brai

Finally I figured out the problem. The essential reason for this weirdness was that the kernel did not set the in_conninfo.inc_isipv6 member of a PCB entry correctly. As a result of this, once a cached route stored in the PCB has become invalid, the kernel would try to get a new route with an AF
