Hello and greetings!

Is there a reason for having the CLUSTER_LEN set to 8 in pf_ring
kernel module? And how is it related to the module parameter
min_num_slots and caplen?
By default, the min_num_slots will be 4096. If I change that to 16384,
and try adding 8 sockets to a cluster I get a kernel panic. I am
trying to understand the relation between the parameters here.

In all cases when the clusternum * caplen * min_num_slots is greater
than a certain number, the vmalloc_user in the kernel gives issues and
a panic happens. I don't know the reason, is there a limit to how much
vmalloc_user() can allocate?

Please note that this is for linux kernel 2.6.18.194.

Thanks for the help.
