Hi, I supervised the system during a few weeks with slabtop and rtstat.What I could see, it is that the ip_dst_cache cache grow without never being cleaned by the garbage collector.
At the end of a few days, the traffic is slowed down and the customer restart the firewall. When the cache reaches its maximum value there is the error message (kernel: dst cache overflow) and the traffic is really disturbed.
I use the Linux kernel 2.6.17 and the route patch from Julian Anastasov. - The bug comes from the kernel or the patch? - Do you know if this bug were corrected in the new versions of the kernel?
