Re: [tipc-discussion] Error allocating memeory error when sending RDM message

[Jon M. <jon...@er...>]

Hi Rune,

Do you see any signs of general memory leak ("free") on your node?

Anyway there can be no doubt that this happens because the big buffer pool is running empty.

We fixed that in commit 4c94cc2d3d57 ("tipc: fall back to smaller MTU if allocation of local send skb fails") which was delivered to Linux 4.16.

Do you have any opportunity to apply that patch and try it?
