This caused me to get repeatably:
tcpdump: pcap_loop: recvfrom: Bad address
Happens occassionally when I tcpdump my for-looped test xfers:
while [ : ]; do echo -n "$(date '+%s.%N') "; ./sendfile; sleep 20; done
Rest of the relevant commands:
ethtool -K eth0 tso off
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem drop 4%
tcpdump -n -s0 -i eth0 -w sacklog.all
Running net-next under kvm, connection goes to the same host
(basically just out of kvm). The connection itself works ok
and data gets sent without corruption even with a large
number of tests while tcpdump fails usually within less than
5 tests.
Whether it only happens because of this change or not, I
don't know for sure but it's the only thing with which
I've seen that error. The non-cloned variant works w/o it
for much longer time. I'm yet to debug where the error
actually comes from.
