Re: [PATCH net-next v2] net/smc: Reduce overflow of smc clcsock listen queue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



LGTM. Fallback makes the restrictions on SMC dangling
connections more meaningful to me, compared to dropping them.

Overall, i see there are two scenario.

1. Drop the overflow connections limited by userspace application
accept.

2. Fallback the overflow connections limited by the heavy process of
current SMC handshake. ( We can also control its behavior through
sysctl.)

I'll follow those advise to improve my patch, more advise will be highly
appreciated.

Thanks all.
