In xmit, there is a skb_clone. This function copies the struct sk_buff. And some parameters are changed to the new skb. Then the new skb is sent while the old skb is freed. While the function skb_clone is removed, the parameter changes are made on the old skb, then the old skb is sent. It can also work well. The following tests are made. server client --------- --------- |1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2| --------- --------- On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512 On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512 The kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is enabled on both server and client. This test runs for several hours. There is no memory leak and the whole system can work well.
