Hi,
thinking about the supposed "fragility" of FreeBSD when mbufs (or
clusters) are not properly dimensioned: i notice that
in various places of the code (and this is, i think, 4.4 heritage),
there are things like
m = m_get(M_WAIT, ...)
m->m_len = something.
looking at the code, it seems that m_get() _can_ return a NULL pointer
even if one specifies M_WAIT.
Could this be a potential weakness, and in this case, how shuld we go
and fix it -- by making m_get never return if there is no memory,
or by hunting all such occurrences of the code ?
cheers
luigi
