Re: io-pkt leak data section - ppc8260 ethernet driver
Good Morning Hugh,
yes I agree, running "df" in a loop isn't a normal situation. this was just used to show and reproduce the leak in a
fast way.
And yes I also agree - how this topic ended up, it has nothing to do with the original subject.
Somehow in our application the same thing happens but much more slowy with the result that after a couple of months
systems performing a reset - critical for customers.
Still I don't get the relation to our network driver? As the vmware is now based on standard libs and binaries. I would
assume. That if QNX Software Systems can provide us the io-pkt based on QNX 6.6.0 compiled for a PPC(BE) and all the
related libs (libc.so.x ....) it should be possible to use it and test if this leak is still present.
From the currents test with 6.6.0 what I can confirm and Nick Reilly confirmed, this issue is not happening.
So from my understanding io-pkt must be replaced to solve my issue and not my network driver.
Or we do find a way what causes the leak when df send interacts with io-pkt and I can hunt for the same issue in our
application and try to implement a workaround.
Kind Regards
Thomas
