pf_ring + kernel 4.2.3 = compilation error about pf_ring HOT 19 CLOSED

I would go with 2 (ZC)

from pf_ring.

Hi Leonardo
pf_ring is not yet supported on kernel 4.x.

Hi Alfredo!
What are the plans of ntop team to support it?

Thanks,
Nick

from pf_ring.

Hi Nick
we usually support latest ubuntu 12/14 lts and centos 6/7, this is what we have in our lab,
we will support kernel 4.x ASAP.

good to know, thanks!

from pf_ring.

I suggest support http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml and http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt at least.

from pf_ring.

Kernel 4.x should be supported now, please test latest code and let me know.

from pf_ring.

Many thanks for such a fast response. I do not have (__sk)->sk_protinfo type of error any more. Though I have this one:

I patched pf_ring for 4.2.3 EL7,
it seems you are using ubuntu, correct? Version? How did you install kernel 4.2?

from pf_ring.

I'm using upcoming ubuntu 15.10
// actually kubuntu if it matters

from pf_ring.

Fixed, please check latest code on git.

from pf_ring.

I did. And kernel module is compiled fine now. But I have other error on compiling drivers. That's the error that I get when I just run make in PF_RING root:

Many thanks for your fixes! If I can somehow help just tell me.

from pf_ring.

We are working for porting drivers to kernel 4.x, stay tuned.

from pf_ring.

This kernel is elrepo-kernelmt.

Ill waiting.

from pf_ring.

Might we have any news about the DNA drivers with kernel 4.x ? Has this issue been resolved?
I have problem installing DNA driver only in this kernel. On 3.19 I had no problem.

I tried cd ~/PF_RING && make and I am getting the following error:

Any help or update is much appreciated :)

from pf_ring.

DNA is EOL, any reason you are not using ZC drivers?

from pf_ring.

We were using ZC for some time, but we had a lot of dropped packets 30-55%. Possibly, it was due to bad management of hardware resources (more than enough but not with optimized settings).
Changing to DNA drivers and without changing any other setting dropped this to 0.02-0.5%.
Just that so far!

from pf_ring.

I think this is due to some misconfiguration (DNA and ZC have similar performance, they use the very same kernel-bypass technology)

from pf_ring.

It might be a little bit off-topic and general question but it would give me some guidance as to what to focus.

• Is it worth falling back to kernel 3.19 to use DNA and find better settings
  or
• It is better to use kernel 4.x , ZC and try to find better settings ?
  Thank you very much!
