Hello,
We recently installed the buffer patch v1.9 from George. We had the 1.8
version
working, but lost a HD & had a corrupted backup, so we decided to use the
latest version. Oh, we're on BPL 11, HEAVILY modified, several of the
changes
from later patches have made it in over the years. We also use OBuild.
At this point, production side, (because of some of the problems we
encountered
with v1.8) we've just installed the *.[ch] files, added the # includes and
NOT done any of the get_buffer/release_buffer code changes.
Even so, we're seeing *HUGE* numbers of 16k buffers (see below) I've set up
3 as persistent, in hopes of stopping this, but to no avail. Our Syslog is
also seeing a lot of activity with freed buffers of this size.
grep 16384 show's it's our MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH in boards.h, but it's not
being
requested or released under the new system yet. (I also looked for 1024 *
16
to no avail.)
Has anyone else seen this? Kind of activity? What else can I try? Where
should I look?
Thanks in advance for any time or information you can provide.
