"Longitude" of call chain greatly depends of run-time system configuration. For example, application sendto() call can result in variable number of system calls performing IPSEC transformations (ESP, AH, IPCOMP) then custom PFIL processing then multiple NETGRAPH calls then complex WiFi stack operations and each of such calls can result in kernel stack exhaustion. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
