[lvs-users] Incorrect client connect statistics data after unsigned int overflow

[Dongsheng Song <dongsheng.song@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here is my statistics data:

[root@kyle-lvs01 net]# date -u; cat /proc/net/ip_vs_stats
Fri Jun 24 02:17:32 UTC 2011
   Total Incoming Outgoing         Incoming         Outgoing
   Conns  Packets  Packets            Bytes            Bytes
    635A  9AD7996        0        3E1921904                0

 Conns/s   Pkts/s   Pkts/s          Bytes/s          Bytes/s
       0      A70        0            42F9F                0

[root@kyle-lvs01 net]# date -u; cat /proc/net/ip_vs_stats
Fri Jun 24 02:22:40 UTC 2011
   Total Incoming Outgoing         Incoming         Outgoing
   Conns  Packets  Packets            Bytes            Bytes
    635A  9B9FC32        0        3E6967A1E                0

 Conns/s   Pkts/s   Pkts/s          Bytes/s          Bytes/s
       0      A62        0            42A01                0

The statistics data of 'Total Conns' and 'Conns/s' is invalid for not
changed
when there have many new clients coming.

I use RHEL5 family Linux version 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5, is this is a known
bug which fixed already ?

I have checked the IPVS commits, not found any related commits:
git log --no-merges v2.6.18..v3.0-rc4 net/netfilter/ipvs/
include/net/ip_vs.h include/linux/ip_vs.h

PS: After I zero counters, no good news:
