The kernel then spends a whole bunch of time and cache misses trying to deal with no skbuffs, resulting in no CPU cycles to keep up with the interrupt work. This should not halt operation, although it will cause packet drops. > eth1: Restarted Rx at 2874 / 2874 > eth3: Restarted Rx at 296 / 296 This is the restart message after we have some memory for the receiver. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 _______________________________________________ tulip mailing list, [email protected] To change to digest mode or unsubscribe visit http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/tulip
