I've found a very strange bug in linux ppc 2.4.17, I think. I'm pulling udp packets off the LAN and reading them in a user space program. They come in sets of about 60k bytes all together, then pause for a while. I only can read the first 48k successfully, then they get lost.
If I have a setsockopt call on the socket, setting SO_RCVBUF to 65535, then I don't lose any data. But if I do a getsockopt beforehand on SO_RCVBUF, it reports 65535. Without the setsockopt I get the packet loss, with it I don't lose any. It is strange because the value doesn't appear to be changing. What can be causing this mysterious behaviour? -Dave ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
