Re: [patch 2.6.12-rc1-mm4] fork_connector: add a fork connector

[Jay Lan]

I based my listen program on the fclisten.c posted by Kaigai Kohei
with my own modification. Unfortunately i lost my test machine in the
lab. I will recreate the listen program Monday. The original listener
did not validate sequence number. It also prints length of data and
sequence number of every message it receives. My listener prints
only out-of-sequence error messages.
The fork generator fork-test.c was yours? I called it fork-test
and let it run continuously in while-loop:
# while 1
# ./fork-test 10000000
# sleep 1
# end
I let it do 10,000,000 times of fork continuously while the system
is running AIM7 and/or ubench.
The original fclisten.c and fork-test.c are attached for your reference.

With the patch you provide to me, i did not see the bugcheck
at cn_queue_wrapper() at the console.
Unmatched sequence number messages still happened. We expect
to lose packets under system stressed situation, but i still
observed duplicate messages, which concerned me.

What tool and what version do you use 
as message generator and receiver?


Thanks,
