Subject: question on the TCP implementation on Linux 2.2.(12|14)
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:40:14 GMT
Hi!
I have a Linux RedHat-6.1 system with a 2.2.14 kernel.
Some other infos:
=============`sysctl =A |grep tcp`===============
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 128
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_stdurg = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 180
net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 = 15
net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 = 7
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 9
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 7200
net.ipv4.tcp_max_ka_probes = 5
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries = 10
net.ipv4.tcp_retrans_collapse = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
================================
What I want to do is to reduce the used resources and load generated by
multiple established TCP connections on a server dropping quickly all
connections which exceed a treshold number at the lower level possible
(whitout doing e.g. select/accept + close).
Thus I tried to limit with the backlog arg of listen(2) call the number
of clients which are accepted on a server socket. I thought that the
other requests will have a ECONNREFUSED error but they are reported as
established even if the queue is full. This is strange for me. Thus I've
search details in the listen man page and I've found this:
=======>8==========from `man listen`=========
The backlog parameter defines the maximum length the queue
of pending connections may grow to. If a connection
request arrives with the queue full the client may receive
an error with an indication of ECONNREFUSED or, if the
underlying protocol supports retransmission, the request
may be ignored so that retries may succeed.
=======>8===================
I think my application has the second behavior (="or, if the
underlying...").
Can someone explain me what's happening at TCP level when the backlog
queue is full and more requests arrive for the specified implementation
(Linux 2.2.12&14) or maybe someone can give me some pointers to such
info?
Thank you,
D.I.M.

Neither. It uses some undocumented call(s) in NTDLL.DLL.

I know nothing about Corel; but ghostscript, which is the standard for
printing to non-postscript printers, does have an Epson Stylus Colour
driver; it works fine with my 740.

Well, the Windows registry is basically a filesystem; but optimized for
storing many small 'files'. If someone were to design a similar filesystem
for Linux, it could be mounted using loopback from a file, giving the
same thing. Hey, that's an idea - write a filesystem driver for the
Windows registry :-)

Squid/Apache proxies (and I expect others) use a hierarchcal
structure to speed up access; also the terminfo database
does the same thing.

Um, xcf (Gimp)? If you run Gimp you'll find a huge list of graphics
formats.

Looking into the source code for Gimp may help; see www.gimp.org.
Or perhaps ImageMagick?

That's absolutly, completely, untrue. Ever hear of "NT Workstation?" If

Why not use "current", which is a pointer to the task_struct of the
currently-executing process?
i.e.,
printk("The process is \"%s\" (pid %i)\n", current->comm, current->pid);
would print out the basename of the executable file that was last
executed by the current process as well as its process ID.

Depends on what you want. If four inputs are enough a resistor to limit
the current and you can short DTR against RI, DCD, CTS and DSR. You can
also put RTS high and use a low current LED for an indicator.
If you need more than four switches but less that 13 then the parallel
port is your best bet. Above 13 switches you need some sort of extra
electronics and serial/parallel are much the same.
Personally I find the serial port handy as the parallel port is often
occupied with a printer or some other device.

I don't think mem=x will work - I need to allocate
this memory from the driver, and it will be several
small chunks scattered throughout memory.
However, I'll check out the nopage-handler thing.
Thanks for your reply. I was beginning to think no

Well, if you've told them about it and they agreed, why should there
be any privacy issue?
However, I would have serious doubts about anyone who agreed to have
this installed. (Except possibly for debugging purposes, or for
tracking an unauthorized user.) So there might be ethical concerns
with writing it, since especially from the way you describe it (data
sent to a specific server) it seems uniquely suited for bosses spying
on employees, or crackers stealing passwords/data.

I always answer my own questions, but this was one of the dumber ones

any way to change the signal.
