Re: 9.2-RC3 - suspend/resume causes slow system performance

2013-09-25 Thread Mike Harding
My slowdown manifests as extremely slow disk access, even with low CPU.
This happens even
if CPU scaling is disabled, or if I am remotely accessing the system, with
no X.

 That is, the Xorg server constantly queried the display device for its
 capabilities (perhaps on behalf of some client - I run KDE, so you never
 know what it tries to do...).

 This seems to be a somewhat known issue:


 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/310857

 Is this something different, or is this a variant of the slowdown others
 are seeing?

Re: 9.2-RC3 - suspend/resume causes slow system performance

2013-09-22 Thread Mike Harding
Just a note for anybody who might have this problem with 9.2 that I am
still having this issue with 9.2-releng
(unless I patch the kernel) and Andriy hasn't accessed my system yet, to
have a look so 9.2 release is likely
to have this same issue for some subset of users (maybe only 1, me!).  We
were able to figure out that my
symptoms have nothing to do with the user of powerd (still happens if
powerd is not enabled, and the CPU
still scales after suspend/resume).

As this only appears to affect the disk access, here's the dmesg output
related to the SATA hardware and affected
disk:

Re: 9.2-RC3 - suspend/resume causes slow system performance

2013-09-01 Thread Mike Harding
This would be a 'strange story' if I had not tracked this down.  The disk
works, only much slower
than normal.  I only noticed it because I was doing a buildworld.  There is
no crash, no dmesg,
no console logs.

I'll ask again, why change that line?  Did you feel that the original
author of the code had made a
mistake?  The code in question is from Oct. 2005.  Also why move the check
for the HT in front
of the check for the disabled idle?

The only change that affects my system is that idle is enabled in a code
path that should only
be run when idle is disabled.  I don't know the larger context but I also
don't know why the code
was changed.  It looks like the intent of the code has been changed (don't
suspend if this
flag is set) and I don't know what benefit this provides.  The code path
seems to only be
run during startup, shutdown and wake from sleep.

Contact me via email and I'll set up remote access.  This is a personal
machine so this is a bit
awkward.

Why not put this out to stable and take a survey with more than 2 members?
I am sure that there
are those who will be delighted, as I was with 9.1, to discover that
suspend/resume worked without
rebooting the machine.

I can make the system available to you, contact me at this email.  I am in
the PDT time zone.

Re: 9.2-RC3 - suspend/resume causes slow system performance

2013-08-31 Thread Mike Harding
I've tracked this down to a single line, details in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=181632.  Basically, the code is
now doing a 'sti, hlt' vs. a 'sti' in some code that is only supposed to
run if idle is disabled.  Given that 'hlt' is the idle instruction, this
doesn't seem right.

 The issue does occur with commit 244616, but does not occur with 244614.

 That's awesome. It's a very small ACPI patch. Let's see if the others who

I had a panic during shutdown, in the if_re.c interrupt handler,
likely because I had

in /etc/rc.conf.

Crash report

2007-08-07 Thread Mike Harding

I have had -lots- of panics since upgrading to 6.2 - my system was
pretty much 100% before that.  One thing I do have on my system is
some jails, and I also see this crashes during tinderbox builds.  I
upgraded to 6.2-STABLE to see if the crashes were fixed, I still have
them.  Any ideas?  memtest shows nothing wrong...

Re: Crash report

2007-08-07 Thread Mike Harding
Yep, have had to do this many many times.

I had another crash, during the 'umount' process.  Is there possibly a
race condition with tinderbox?  I generally run the tinderbox as 'idprio
10'...

This crash happens with 2 different boxes, doing the same thing.  One is
an Intel Dell, one is a AMD system.

6.1 was so solid I may go back to it...

 Try disabling bg fsck, then booting to single user mode and running

I should also mention, fwiw, that I use tinderbox with the 'nullfs'
mounts.  I can forward my config to anybody who is interested in trying
to recreate these crashes.

Mounting a powered-down HDD renders system unusable

2005-04-01 Thread Mike Harding
On a 5.4-pre system as of the last few days, If I mount a spun down hard
disk (one I am using only for backup):

# mount /backup/usr

I get

ad1: TIMEOUT _ READ DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=7340273
ad0: WARNING - removed from configuration
ad1: WARNING - removed from configuration
at0-slave: FAILURE - READ DMA Timeout
mount:/dev/ad1s1g : Input/Output error
ata0-slave: timeout state=0 unexpected
initiate_write_filepage: already started
initiate_write_filepage: already started
(repeat until reset is pushed)

Nothing works because all of the disks are unmounted.  Can't even shut
down.

This worked great in 4.10, and also 5.3 (where the initial mount
generated an error, but I could do the mount again after the disk spun
up).

Anybody else get the same thing?  I'll open a bug report if so...

Re: 4.10-RELEASE

2004-05-13 Thread Mike Harding

Look at the todo list.  They are apparently testing out the 'twe'
device right now, and a fix for a vmpsace leak that can cause a
crash. By these todo notes rc3 has already been released, but it
hasn't been announced...

Would be nice if the release dates were twiddled, though, if only to
give us a little hope...

If you are very antsy I would go ahead and build RELENG_4_10 and use
it, I can't imagine there will be any significant changes in the
release, especially if you are not using the 'twe' device.  I am just
waiting because 4.9-RELEASE is not stable in my hardware and I want to
populate my jails with a tagged release...

Possible mouse/ATA problems in -STABLE

2003-10-23 Thread Mike Harding

My mouse has been losing sync several times a day and then eventually
disappearing, requiring, AFAIK, a reboot to make the system usable.
It's possible that this is hardware on my end, but I did change mice
and I still have the same problem.  This may be related to some recent
mfc ATA changes at this only seems to happen during periods of high
disk activity.  Also, the mouse seems to generate almost 300
interrupts per second at times.

I am going to back my system down to sept. 1 and see if I get the
problem again, and will advise if this seems to 'fix' it.

When the mouse goes it looks like this:

Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psmintr: reset the mouse.
Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psm0: failed to reset the aux device.
Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize).

Thanks for working on FreeBSD...

Re: Possible mouse/ATA problems in -STABLE

2003-10-23 Thread Mike Harding
Mouse is on interrupt 12, ATA on 14 and 15.  I don't have any interrupt
conflicts AFAIK.

I think that maybe the new ATA drivers are staying in the interrupt a
bit longer and causing data to be dropped.

I have reverted to 1-sep -STABLE and it seems stable (so far), I am
going to try a new -STABLE and look at the interrupt counts.

The -STABLE ATA drivers were MFC'd - after this merge I see the
following comment for a commit on ata-dma.c (revision 1.122)

...
This pushed the time spent between starting the ATA command and
starting the DMA engine over the hill for some controllers
(especially the Silicon Image DS3112a) and caused what looked
like lost interrupts.

- so possibly we need another MFC... ?

 It sounds like your ATA device and ps/2 ports have ended up with the same
 interrupt.  You might see if you can convince the ATA controller to move
 elsewhere by locking out irq 12.

Re: Squid memory leaks in -stable using libc malloc

2003-09-07 Thread Mike Harding
There can of course be a difference between what malloc allocates and
what the application asked for.  Various malloc implementations will do
things like round allocations up to a power of 2, etc.  The application
is only aware of the memory it asked for - the OS knows how much memory
was actually allocated.  'Wasted' memory isn't an indication of a bug,
it's a characteristic of the malloc used.  It's only leaking memory if
the memory usage grows without bound, and I've never seen that with
squid, in a few years anyway.

Different malloc implementations optimize for different things - the
FreeBSD malloc, looking at the man page, appears to try to minimize page
faults.  It also looks like it uses buckets with various powers of 2. 
dlmalloc looks to have a maximum 'wastage' of 15 bytes per chunk.  There
is a good writeup of dlmalloc here:

http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html

Sounds like you might as well use dlmalloc with squid - squid does
generate a lot of memory allocations, and the characteristics of squid
may function better with this malloc, which is likely why they provide
it as an option.  You may want to suggest to the port maintainer that
dlmalloc be used as the default...

 Hi,
 
 On Sat, Sep 06, 2003 at 08:17:19AM -0700, Mike Harding wrote:
  Squid uses more memory than you assign to cache_mem, this is
  documented in the Squid FAQ, section 8.  cache_mem is sort of a
  'suggested' value, it's normal for squid to use a lot more memory than
  cache_mem.
 
 I know this, and I know the contents of the FAQ. However, there's a huge
 difference between what top reports as memory used (SIZE) and what cache
 manager reports as total allocated KB. In a running process I have just
 now, top says Squid uses 1235 MB of memory, while cache manager reports
 663 MB allocated (contents of /proc/pid/map attached). That's after
 running for around 10 hours. If I use dlmalloc (I do on one system), the
 numbers are 2291 MB according to top and 2221 MB according to cache
 manager after running for 30 hours. Do you see the difference? To me,
 there seems to be a leak, or at least very unfavourable results with
 phkmalloc and Squid.
 
 BTW, in the first example I gave here, I (still) use phkmalloc with H
 configured in malloc.conf, although H did not seem to make a difference.
 
  If you are happy with dmalloc, though, go ahead and use it, just check
  out the squid FAQ about memory usage.  I don't think that there is
  anything wrong with FreeBSD's malloc, it just has different
  performance characteristics.
 
 I agree that there doesn't have to be something technically wrong with
 (phk)malloc. However, if there is, someone may have an interest in
 following this up (tjr@ seems to be - I talked to him on IRC about
 this).

 Note that you can gdb the live kernel and get a stack backtrace of any

 gdb -k /kernel.debug /dev/mem (or whatever)
 proc N(e.g. vnlru's pid)

 All the processes stuck in 'inode' are likely associated with the 
 problem, but if that is what is causing vnlru to be stuck I would expect
 vnlru itself to be stuck in 'inode'.
 
 unionfs is probably responsible.  I would not be surprised at all if 
 unionfs is causing a deadlock somewhere which is creating a chain of
 processes stuck in 'inode' which is in turn causing vnlru to get stuck.

What changed -STABLE in May 2002 with disks?

2002-10-18 Thread Mike Harding

I bought a Asus A7V133 and am apparently having stability problems.
The problem only manifests with cvsup - I get a Treelist error and
have to delete the cvsup files.  This does not happen all the time,
just occasionally.  I bought the system in 8/2001 but did not notice
any problems until 5/2002 - I was wondering if there was a change to
-STABLE around then that might be causing me problems.  I am naseous
after reading about all of the A7V133/Via 686B southbridge issues.

Re: Need instructions: build kernel on one machine; install on another

2002-08-13 Thread Mike Harding


I can validate that this works - one way you can automate this is to
put the KERNCONF definition in /etc/make.conf.  We used this to bulk
update a farm of SMP and uniprocessor systems, the SMP kernel was
different for us.

One thing that can bite you is _other_ things in /etc/make.conf - like
if you use NO_SENDMAIL=yes in the base system - if /etc/make.conf
doesn't have the same options in the install systems the install will
fail.  Likewise for kerberos.  I don't know what can be done about CPU
variants unless you have a relatively homogenous setup.

What worked best for us was to keep /etc/make.conf as short as
possible, even if all of the systems ended up getting the games
directory installed...

The question still remains - can one build a number of kernels and
then install them? This will save some time on updating a number
of machines: 3 steps (cvsup'ing and world and kernel(s) building)
may be fully automated.

   I don't see why you cann't do it for many machines. One can just
   make buildkernel KERNCONF=LALALA
   ...
   make buildkernel KERNCONF=ZAZAZA

   then nfs mount to each machine to installkernel. Only problem is

They are, as far as I can tell, incorrect, I have been using

   Hi all!

   In /etc/defaults/make.conf there are sample entries
   suggesting that you could set HTTP_PROXY or FTP_PROXY
   in /etc/make.conf and have fetch et. al. honour it -
   like when installing ports.

   Unfortunately this has no effect at all on the operation of
   make install in some port's directory. You have to setenv
   these values for fetch to work.

   If this is on purpose, why are these sample entries in
   /etc/defaults/make.conf?

Re: IPFW/IPSEC/NAT interaction issues with 4.4, Bug ???

2001-10-25 Thread Mike Harding


This is a feature - if you don't do this, you can't tell decapsulated
traffic from raw traffic.  That was the old config.  If you have a
router, you can filter on the inside interface.  I suggested inserting
the traffic on a fake interface so you could do more interesting
things like NAT, better filtering, etc, but some KAME folk seemed to
get very upset about this, although I couldn't follow the reasoning...

Hi All

I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on a problem I came across this
morning. I have two VPN gateways connected to cisco VPN concentrators. 
These are running Freebsd 4.2-RELEASE and 4.4-RELEASE.  The 4.2 based
gateway has been functioning without hastles for a while now.  however when
I configured the 4.4 based system this morning, I ran into the problem that
the IP packets seem to ne be being re-injected into the firewall ruleset
after the ESP decapsulation.  The firewall rulesets are identicle between
the systems.  This re-injection is neccessary for me to be able to then
place the packet into a divert socket feeding natd, and from there onto the
client machines behind the VPN gateway.

Network diagram is as follows:

[SERVER] - [FW] - [VPNC] --{INTERNET}-- [FBSD VPN GW/FW] -- [CLIENT]

I can connect fine from the firewall itself to the SERVER.  

bash-2.05# telnet S.S.S.22 2300
Trying S.S.S.22...
Connected to S.S.S.22.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet q
Connection closed.

The firewall rules in place at this time are:
00040 allow udp from any 500 to any 500
00045 allow esp from any to any
00046 deny ip from S.S.S.22/24 to any
65535 allow ip from any to any

My understanding is that rule 46 would deny the traffic, however an ipfw
show 46 indicates that the rules is NOT matching ANY packets!
bash-2.05# ipfw show 45 46
00045   9   896 allow esp from any to any
00046   0 0 deny ip from 203.20.35.0/24 to any

Connections from the client are correctly natted, and go out, responses
however also seem to be accepted by the FBSD firewall immediately after
decryption.

[bvi@client1 bvi]$ netstat -tn | grep 203
tcp0  1 192.168.10.2:1615   203.20.35.22:2300   SYN_SENT

and on the firewall
Oct 23 18:13:38 off-fw1 /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP B.B.B.8:1615 from
S.S.S.22:2300
Oct 23 18:13:56 off-fw1 last message repeated 2 times
Oct 23 18:14:20 off-fw1 /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP B.B.B.8:1615 from
S.S.S.22:2300

this proves that the packets are getting accepted by default witout the 
reinjection after decoding. B.B.B.8 being the IP address of the firewall,
the endpoint of the VPN IPSEC/ESP Tunnel and the Address to which traffic
from the client network is natted.  The same setup works fine on the 4.2
system.   

My understanding of the packet flow process is:
INet - packet received with ESP - passed through IP firewall ruleset 
 - packet matching IPSEC SP - YES - Decrypt and re-inject
 -  NO IS it ipsec - yes discard
  - no re-inject
   - reinjected packets passed through ipfirewall again
   - ipfw passes packets off to NAT and things WORK :

With 4.4
 The process should work as above, however the packet appears to being 
accepted by the host as soon as it has been decrypted. 

Have checked the sysctls for ipsec, and the are the same, except for the
adddition of the following one on the 4.4 box (which is undocumented??)
net.inet.ipsec.esp_randpad: -1

Full sysctl output from the 4.4 box is:

bash-2.05# sysctl -a | grep ipsec
net.inet.ipsec.def_policy: 1
net.inet.ipsec.esp_trans_deflev: 1
net.inet.ipsec.esp_net_deflev: 1
net.inet.ipsec.ah_trans_deflev: 1
net.inet.ipsec.ah_net_deflev: 1
net.inet.ipsec.ah_cleartos: 1

Re: Default user directory (adduser) filemode

'adduser' is a perl script, search it for '755' and you will find
where the permissions are set, it's trivial to change in the source,
although logically this could be a configuration parameter.  The
script is in /usr/sbin/adduser.

   I notice that when I add a user to FreeBSD, either from adduser

   of the user's home directory is 755.  So far, I can't find

It looks like my natd is slowing down my cable internet transfers.  
   When running, I can't get the speed I get when natd isn't around (tested 
   downloading 20 megs with natd diverting packets from gateway and then 
   tested with an extra ipfw pass all rule before divert).  With divert, 
   ETA is around 30 mins, without: 8 mins!  And I tested it more than once. 

  I didn't have this kind of slowdown on 3.4 ...  Is there a kernel

2001-03-26 Thread Mike Harding


I think you will find that all of these ports are up to date.  You
might at least try them to see if they have any patches that you need
to apply.

If you are doing the work to bring in up to date material and update
it then I would consider contributing to the ports system so that
others may benefit from your work and you can also get bug reports
from the field.  I have found that ports maintainers, if available,
are generally receptive to update information.  Ports maintainers
'gone missing' is about the only problem I have had.

We use ports almost exclusively, even if we have to make our own
modified ports to bring in patches.  The overall benefits are
enormous.  As far as core services go, I think you will find that the
web related ports are brought up to date within a few days.  I would
have a problem with core services being run on a one-off installation.

I don't have anything special in make.conf, but here it is anyway...

Re: Major upgrade

2001-03-14 Thread Mike Harding


Having done this before I would HIGHLY recommend doing a clean install
and restoring the 'good stuff' from backup.  You can do the upgrades
in place, but it takes a while, and you have to do it in steps, and if
you misstep you may blow up the box, and so on.  You should know how
to do clean installs and backups anyways.  Since you have 2 machines,
assuming sufficient clear disk space on each, you can back one up onto
the other and so on.

Re: Fatal Tarp in 4.1.1

2000-10-14 Thread Mike Harding


Just another data point - I also got 2 'Fatal Trap 12 - supervisor
page not present' followed by a system lockup.  Both appeared to have
occurred while 'dump' was backing up the system.  This happened with
4.1.1 - it had never happened before this and hasn't happened since I
upgraded the system to -STABLE (fingers crossed).  I'll post if it
happens again, I notice that there were changes made to the SCSI
drivers.

This is on a dual processor board with an Adaptec 7896/7897 SCSI
interface.

   A common cause of this is loading modules which are out of date with respect

Recent ports behavior (fetch)

2000-07-25 Thread Mike Harding


Recently I have noticed that one of the following happens if you
interrupt a fetch during a ports 'make' (say because you have a dialup
and the port is downloading an 18M file):

1.  Fetch runs in the background and you have to stop it multiple times.

2.  Fetch leaves a truncated file in /usr/ports/distfiles which much
be deleted by hand.

Is there any chance for a return to the old behavior (cntl-C stops
fetch, file deleted) for 4.1?  It's a lot friendlier for us dial-up
folk...

Re: Softupdates disappears?

2000-06-22 Thread Mike Harding


Now I am totally confused.  There is a /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README
file I see via cvsweb which I don't have as well, and the two files
you are supposed to link appear to already be in the directory, but I
don't fetch them.  There was a change on Jun 22 which is when I
started seeing a problem.  I assume that changes are being done for
3.5 release - regardless something is fishy in cvs/cvsup land and/or
the instructions need to get updated.  Could somebody with more of a
clue check this out?  Anybody with a setup like mine (4.0-STABLE) who
does a CVSUP and kernel build will lose softupdates.  I have a
completely generic stable-supfile so I think this should be easy to
test...

   Did the files just disapear, or did they change locations?  I
   haven't cvsup'd today, so I cannot anwser this for certain, but I suspect
   this is what hapened:  

   Kirk relaxed the license on thge softupdate files today, and I

   Probably because you told cvsup it should delete things it doesn't know about..

   And it doesn't know about the symlinks :)

Final scripting in /etc/default/rc.conf was changed. As a result

Am I right?

   Well, it's been working with the most recent changes for a month in
   5.0-Current, so I suspect that something in your situation is different
   from the majority. First, try cvsup'ing and running mergemaster again to
   see if anything is different. It's possible that you updated your source
   at a time period when not all of the relevant files in rc-land had been
   updated. 

btw in my case I changed default script and all works fine.

   If that doesn't work, please send me a copy of your
   /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and your /etc/rc.conf[.local] scripts. I wrote
   the new code for sourcing the rc.conf's, so I may be able to spot the
   problem. You could also send them to the list if you're more comfortable
   with that.

   OK, I was caught at this:-) The Handbook is still not updated to reflect
   this (although I remembered otherwise) so you should see man page for
   mergemaster(8)... it is in the base system for 3.4 for sure (and of course
   above) but normally you do not need much documentation for using it:

   cd to /usr/src/etc and say 'mergemaster'. It will build a temproot
   environment under /var/tmp/temproot just as the Handbook does tell you but
   you do not have to do it by hand and also it automatically diffs the files
   in /etc and the temproot and if it spots any differences, you are given the
   choice of installing the new file as is, to keep the old file (eg you should
   do this with master.passwd) or to merge the two. It can also leave the file
   untouched and then you can finish it up later by hand. After it is finished,
   it asks if you want to delete the old temproot. (which you normally want to
   do, unless there are files you want to deal with by hand.)

Thanks for the suggestion.  I suspect that this was the problem, however X

   It appears that the problem was fixed in -current and not in -stable:

 Modified files:
   lib/libpam/modules/pam_unix Makefile
 Log:
 Add libcrypt. This previously/coincidentally worked for login, 
 because login was already linked against it, but others have a  
 problem.

 Revision  ChangesPath
 1.4   +3 -3  src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_unix/Makefile

   Even though the patch is for -current, it applies cleanly to -stable.  
   Would someone please MFC this.

   Kevin, apply the following patch to and rebuild pam_unix.  I've 
   modified the "old" $FreeBSD$ to allow the patch to apply cleanly.

Re: strange named behavior in 3.4-STABLE

1999-12-25 Thread Mike Harding


It's an issue with the new version of Bind - 8.2.2 seems to ping the
network on startup, whereas the previous version did not.  I haven't
found a way around this behaviour but that doesn't mean there isn't
one.  I noticed this behaviour when I was an early 8.2 adapter via the
ports.

   Hi, All!

  I've upgraded from 3.3-STABLE to 3.4-STABLE and notice strange
  thing:
  I have ``named'' run on my machine, which have only dial-up
  Internet connection. I have ``ppp -nat -auto provider'' run too.
  My named have configured to be primary NS in my network (domain is
  not registered and IP addresses are from 192.168.xx.xx range).
  Also, named have ``forward-only'' option and two addresses of my
  ISP DNS.
  Whet it was 3.3-STABLE (really -- 3.3-RELEASE with stable kernel)
  everything works perfectly. PPP doesn't call my ISP until I (or
  somebody in local network) need connection.
  But with new system (3.4-RELEASE) ``named'' initiate dial-up just
  after start! Why new named want to connect when there is no any
  outgoing packets? How could I disable such behavior?

Did you read the isc release about what the latest patches fix?
Pretty scary...

I also vote for the new BIND if at all possible.  But that hasnt even made
it into CURRENT yet.

   That disqualifies it pretty significantly then. :)
