From 4300f26492b2438c4c1930552dfe83cb09c0ab31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dexuan Cui Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 21:51:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tools: hv: ignore ENOBUFS and ENOMEM in the KVP daemon Under high memory pressure and very high KVP R/W test pressure, the netlink recvfrom() may transiently return ENOBUFS to the daemon -- we found this during a 2-week stress test. We'd better not terminate the daemon on the failure, because a typical KVP user will re-try the R/W and hopefully it will succeed next time. We can also ignore the errors on sending. Cc: K. Y.
