This is yet another example of a simple test which would be much trickier to execute against the host kernel. You would either need to put networking in a complete lockdown, or do some "statistical" methods where you trigger the bug many many times and attempt to ascertain a rising trend in mbuf count. And, of course, the leaked mbufs don't go away from the host kernel once the test ends. In contrast, we *know* that there is no other networking activity in a rump kernel, so we can execute the operation exactly once, plus the leaked mbuf "disappears" when the test is done. |
