Assuming there is sufficient memory available, and the tcp segments receive window isn't closed, then you will continue to receive data, as not setting SO_RCVBUF will allow the receive buffers to autotune in size. My explanation may be flawed but the behavior is real. If you turn on autotuning on the nfsd socket, and don't do anything with the buffer sizes, nfsd will stall. This is in a 2.6.24 kernel. I would of course welcome independent verification. I thought that the receive buffer size would only grow as large as the receiver's advertised window, but I'll admit I don't fully understand the autotuning code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
