Dear all,
I have a simple question:
Normally a used cluster element is one where there exist an mbuf which
has
a pointer to the cluster element. This happens at least when you get it
with
m_mclget or the corresponding macro. This would than mean that the
number of
uses mbufs is not larger than the number of used mbuf clusters.
But netstat -m gives for example:
[PowerMac:/] tuexen% netstat -m
330 mbufs in use:
325 mbufs allocated to data
1 mbufs allocated to packet headers
3 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
1 mbufs allocated to Appletalk data blocks
376/848 mbuf clusters in use
1778 Kbytes allocated to network (46% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
Why can it happen that the number of mbuf clusters is larger than the
number of mbufs?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
Michael
