Yes, this >is< a repost, I didn't get any responses last time, and this
problem is driving me crazy. I would like to hear from those of you who
have had this problem, and are currently having it, as I intend to get to
the root of it and patch it once and for all, then release the patch :-)
I'm also on mudsrus.com, which has a 2.0.30 kernel, and I doubt I could
convince them to upgrade it.
Ok folx, here we go again! :-/
I have installed a 'patch' into my new_descriptor function, to catch that
Linux TCP/IP stack problem that caused major lag to the system.
if (sockets_connected >= max_players) {
write_to_descriptor(desc, "Sorry, CircleMUD is full right now...
please try again later!\r\n");
CLOSE_SOCKET(desc);
return 0;
}
/* Make sure the socket is valid... */
if((write_to_descriptor(desc, "Validating socket...\r\n")) < 0) {
//close(desc);
CLOSE_SOCKET(desc);
return 0;
}
/* create a new descriptor */
CREATE(newd, struct descriptor_data, 1);
memset((char *) newd, 0, sizeof(struct descriptor_data));
The problem seemed to go away, for the most part. Now it seems to be
back just as strong as ever. This is very confusing.
Remember, as I stated before, the effects are MAJOR lag on the Circle
app, plus the CPU time soars.
