ipset memory usage

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

 



Hello,

The ipset modules seems to eat a lot of memory :
with a test set of  :
- 150 000 networks in a nethash
- 10 000 hosts in a iphash
ipset sometimes fails with out of memory errors :
"kernel: allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size"

The VmAllocUsed variable from /proc/meminfo goes from 6Mo to 160Mo after loading sets.

Is this normal ? Is there some way to reduce memory usage ?

Thanks
