-----Original Message----- From: Intel-wired-lan [mailto:intel-wired-lan-bounces@lists.osuosl.org] On Behalf Of Jacob Keller Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2015 4:31 PM To: Intel Wired LAN <intel-wired-lan@lists.osuosl.org> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [rc2 05/15] fm10k: add call to fm10k_clean_all_rx_rings in fm10k_down This prevents a memory leak in fm10k_set_ringparams. The leak occurs because we go down, change ring parameters, and then come up. However, fm10k_down on its own is not clearing the Rx rings. Since fm10k_up assumes the rings are clean we basically drop the buffers and leak a bunch of memory. Eventually we hit dirty page faults and reboot the system. This issue does not occur elsewhere because other flows that involve fm10k_down go through fm10k_close which immediately called fm10k_free_all_rx_resources which properly cleans the rings.
