x.x.x.x - - [10/Nov/2024:00:02:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "okhttp/4.9.0"

You know what’s interesting about this log line? It repeats 56,686,963 times in www.kernel.org logs for yesterday, across 4 nodes. That’s about 700 times a second, and this has been going on for months.

These requests aren’t intentionally malicious – they issue a simple GET /, receive their 301 redirect, and terminate the connection. From what I can tell, this is some kind of appliance or software installed on mobile clients that uses “can I reach www.kernel.org” as a network test.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal – a single plaintext “GET /“ that triggers an immediate 301 is very cheap for us to generate, but the number of these requests has been steadily growing.

If you have any idea what this is and how to make it stop, please reach out?

@vbabka @brauner

haha but most people won't focus on how specific/synthetic it is. The number just kinda attracts attention.

I still think it's really hard to demonstrate how a patch will affect realistic scenarios or how much of a clear win it is in most situations... as we all have limited resources to evaluate them.

It probably won't fit there :(
It'd be very thick.

@ljs In my experience, my eyes are keenest directly after sending a patch.
