From b8732fb7f8920e2f6216d2b67faf8b0b0d67ca81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 03:59:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tuntap: limit the number of flow caches We create new flow caches when a new flow is identified by tuntap, This may lead some issues: - userspace may produce a huge amount of short live flows to exhaust host memory - the unlimited number of flow caches may produce a long list which increase the time in the linear searching Solve this by introducing a limit of total number of flow caches.
