search for: unreclaim

Greetings, Working with XCP 1.0 here. I have the problem of losing disk space upon creating snapshots. I''ve been through the XenServer forums and have tried using the leaf-coalesce tool, but it doesn''t seem to work that great, since I have to take my VMs offline and that doesn''t work. Does anybody have any answers on how to reclaim this disk space? We

...et that once you return 0 from your hard_start_xmit method, it is your driver's responsibility to free up the SKB and in some finite amount of time. For example, this means that it is not allowed for your TX mitigation scheme to let TX packets "hang out" in the TX ring unreclaimed forever if no new TX packets are sent. This error can deadlock sockets waiting for send buffer room to be freed up. One solution would be to use the xmit_done interrupt. Unfortunately this would require additional locking as multiple interrupts can happen at two or more cpus. Do you have...

Of course, this is usually called from an

From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc at redhat.com> hdr->csum_start is the offset from the start of the ethernet header to the transport layer checksum field. skb->csum_start is the offset from skb->head. skb_partial_csum_set() assumes that skb->data points to the ethernet header - i.e. it computes skb->csum_start by adding the headroom to hdr->csum_start. Since
