Hi folks, I have a bridge that containes of 2 Ethernet interfaces. When using nttcp to test the throughput of the bridge, the kernel will use more and more memory. This way, all available memory will be used after a few thousand packets and I get a lousy performance and the bridge function is very stagnant. I can see a large amount (up to 5000) of 4096 byte buffers allocated in /proc/slabinfo (the size-4096 line). I don't see a reason why a bridge should be that memory hungry, so I think that there is a memory leak somewhere. Is this a known behaviour? The kernel version is 2.4.18, which is the latest version available for this hardware (ARM based embedded system).
