[Openstack] [Swift][Object-server] Why that arp_cache consumes memory followed with uploading objects?

2012-07-12 Thread Kuo Hugo
Hi all

I found that the arp_cache in slabinfo on objec-server is growing up
followed with uploaded object numbers.

Does any code using it ?

2352000 1329606  56%0.06K  36750   64147000K kmalloc-64
1566617 1257226  80%0.21K  42341   37338728K xfs_ili
1539808 1257748  81%1.00K  48119   32   1539808K xfs_inode

403116 403004  99%0.19K   9598   42 76784K dentry
169250 145824  86%0.31K   6770   25 54160K arp_cache


Does it may cause any performance concern ?

Btw , how could I flush the memory of arp_cache which using by XFS(SWIFT)?

The code which maps from IP to Ethernet addresses does.  That mapping is 
what enables sending IP datagrams to their next-hop destination (which 
may be the final hop, depending) on an Ethernet network.

I believe that is one of those it depends kinds of questions.

You can use the classic arp command to manipulate the ARP cache. It 
can also show you how many entries there are.  I suspect that a web 
search on linux flush arp cache may yield some helpful results as well.
