I have some code here sending a mbuf via:
error = (*so->so_proto->pr_usrreqs->pru_send)(so, 0, m, 0, 0, p);
m is setup like so:
m->m_ext.ext_free = kblob_mbuf_free;
m->m_ext.ext_ref = kblob_mbuf_ref;
m->m_ext.ext_buf = (void *)kb;
m->m_ext.ext_size = kb->kb_len;
m->m_data = (char *) kb->kb_data + uap->offset;
m->m_flags |= M_EXT;
m->m_pkthdr.len = m->m_len = uap->nbytes;
uap->nbytes is 59499.
It looks like the packet is being broken up or referenced to be sent,
but at a certain point it hangs.
this is a sort of trace going on:
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 4
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 3
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 4
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 3
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 2
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
which is the output of the ext_free and ext_ref functions, after that
for a couple of seconds i get this as long as the remote side doesn't
close the connection:
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 1
...
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 1
kblob_mbuf_ref: size = 59499
kblob_mbuf_free: size = 59499
deref, id = 0, refcnt = 1
as if it's retrying.
after the remote side closes the connection, the mbuf is finally free'd
after a short delay.
Is there some weird limit i'm bumping into? Will I have to break this
down into multiple mbufs with external storage?
FYI I'm using fxp and:
