Hi,
the stable LTS linux kernels 6.6.102 and 6.12.42 have a regression regarding network interface monitoring with xosview and gkrellm. Both programs no longer show any network traffic with gkrellm even considering all network interfaces as being in down state. I haven't checked other LTS kernels so I cannot tell if there are more affected kernel branches.
I have bisected the issue to the commits 33c778ea0bd0fa62ff590497e72562ff90f82b13 in 6.6.102 and fc1072d934f687e1221d685cf1a49a5068318f34 in 6.12.42 which are both the same change code-wise (upstream commit ff7ec8dc1b646296f8d94c39339e8d3833d16c05).
Reverting these commits makes xosview and gkrellm "work" again as in they both show network traffic again.
Kind regards Lars Wendler
Hi, Sorry for the delay, I have a rest on weekends. I think I get what happened. We should call pde_set_flags when create proc_dir_entry, and there has omission in net related proc file. I will fix it ASAP.
