TCP has the notion of memory pressure, and behaves roughly the same in this case (one skb is allowed to be received) The other (fat) sockets could notice udp_memory_pressure is set and start reclaiming their forward allocations for other sockets. We have a counter of UDP sockets, so probably doable to compute udp_mem[2]/number Anyway, just an idea. > We are working on a v2 incorporating the feedback of your previous email > - still keeping the new udp_sock fields. > It looks quite simpler than v1, will work reasonably well in memory > pressure scenario, and performance are measurably better than v1, most > probably comparable with the above solution, since usually no additional > atomic operations (beyond sk_rmem_alloc updating) are performed on > enqueue/dequeue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
