Hi I just upgraded some testing host to 4.15.0-rc2+ kernel And after some time of traffic processing - when traffic on all ports reach about 3Mpps - memleak started.[...]quoted

Some observations - when i disable tso on all cards there is more memleak.When traffic starts to drop - there is less and less memleak below link to memory usage graph: https://ibb.co/hU97kG And there is rising slab_unrecl - Amount of unreclaimable memory used for slab kernel allocations Forgot to add that im using hfsc and qdiscs like pfifo on classes.Maybe some error case I missed in the qdisc patches I'm looking into it. Thanks, John
This is how it looks like when corelated on graph - traffic vs mem https://ibb.co/njpkqG Typical hfsc class + qdisc: ### Client interface vlan1616 tc qdisc del dev vlan1616 root tc qdisc add dev vlan1616 handle 1: root hfsc default 100 tc class add dev vlan1616 parent 1: classid 1:100 hfsc ls m2 200Mbit ul m2 200Mbit tc qdisc add dev vlan1616 parent 1:100 handle 100: pfifo limit 128 ### End TM for client interface tc qdisc del dev vlan1616 ingress tc qdisc add dev vlan1616 handle ffff: ingress tc filter add dev vlan1616 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 200Mbit burst 200M mtu 32k drop flowid 1:1 And this is same for about 450 vlan interfaces Good thing is that compared to 4.14.3 i have about 5% less cpu load on 4.15.0-rc2+ When hfsc will be lockless or tbf - then it will be really huge difference in cpu load on x86 when using traffic shaping - so really good job John.
