By any chance, are you using SLAB instead of SLUB ?
Seems that way:
sut42:~/net-next-2.6# grep SLAB .config
CONFIG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_SLABINFO=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set
sut42:~/net-next-2.6# grep SLUB .config
# CONFIG_SLUB is not set
The config file should be up under the base URL:
ftp://ftp.netperf.org/iptable_scaling
The system started as a Debian Lenny with a 2.6.26 kernel, and I did a make old
config and mostly took defaults (save multiq)
While running your netperf session, issuing :
grep conntrack /proc/slabinfo
Would help to know hash dispertion on your machine.
sut42:~/net-next-2.6# grep conntrack /proc/slabinfo
nf_conntrack_expect 0 0 240 66 1 : tunables 120 60 8 :
slabdata 0 0 0
nf_conntrack 276 742 304 53 1 : tunables 54 27 8 :
slabdata 14 14 0
about a minute later it is:
grep conntrack /proc/slabinfo
nf_conntrack_expect 0 0 240 66 1 : tunables 120 60 8 :
slabdata 0 0 0
nf_conntrack 315 742 304 53 1 : tunables 54 27 8 :
slabdata 14 14 0
after about another 40 to 60 seconds it was:
grep conntrack /proc/slabinfo
nf_conntrack_expect 0 0 240 66 1 : tunables 120 60 8 :
slabdata 0 0 0
nf_conntrack 314 742 304 53 1 : tunables 54 27 8 :
slabdata 14 14 7
