#1870: memory leak on sending management frames -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Component: madwifi: driver | Version: trunk Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I was testing source:madwifi/[EMAIL PROTECTED] on an IXP425 in an Avila from Gateworks, www.gateworks.com/products/avila/gw2348-4.php. I am using kernel version 2.6.18.4 on ARM in big endian mode. I have two mini-PCI radios, an XR2 and an XR5 from Ubiquiti. See wiki:Compatibility/Ubiquiti#XtremeRange2 and wiki:Compatibility/Ubiquiti#XtremeRange5. Both are based on the 5212.
I have two VAPs created as APs. I noticed over time my free memory kept decreasing. No applications had high usage in top. A bisectional search lead me to [3401]. This changeset sets the bf_node and bf_skb and takes a reference on the bf_node. The problem is that it then calls ath_tx_start which does the same starting at line 7543. See source:madwifi/trunk/ath/[EMAIL PROTECTED] . This leads to an extra reference being taken that is never removed. -- Ticket URL: <http://madwifi.org/ticket/1870> madwifi.org <http://madwifi.org/> Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
