Re: re(4) lockups on a MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital (7.0-BETA3 amd64)

Your patch makes this network card interesting. It is now working faster
and saving more resources :-) I hope it will find it's way at least into
-CURRENT

The locukups might have been solved by your patch or by:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2007-November/084247.html

Anyway, I have now 2 days uptime without any network-card or storage
problems at all.

Roughly the same results here except the uptime because I did a
few buildworlds for other reasons but I am getting about 80% of the
rated speed for my ISP now (once headers are factored in it is almost
100%)

re(4) lockups on a MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital (7.0-BETA3 amd64)

2007-11-26 Thread Martin Matuska
Hi,

I am using a MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital (MS-7368) mainboard with 7.0-BETA3 in
amd64 mode at a german dedicated server provider.
The mainboard has a onboard re(4) ethernet controller. I experience a
very strange behaiviour:

When there are large transfers on the onboard SATA controller the re(4)
controller starts to have packet loss.

This packet loss does not stop when there is no more load on ata(4).
With another high load (like doing a full-system backup) the packet loss
keeps increasing up to 90% and more - the system is not accesible over
the internet anymore, packets get lost, SSH sessions or http requests
get stale, I have to restart the system.

I experience no kernel panics. Another (maybe related) problem that
occurs (but does not effect system responsiveness) is described in:

I don't understand why this happens and would like to help debugging
this issue.

I have a Neo-F and it does the same thing for a quick ref see
http://readlist.com/lists/freebsd.org/freebsd-current/9/47364.html
it seems to have improved steadly as 8-current has been developed but
it is by no way fixed yet (even though I suggest switching to
8-current if you can afford the occasional down time from stuff not
working for short periods of time)

 When there are large transfers on the onboard SATA controller the re(4)
 controller starts to have packet loss.

Hum I see this when doing long heavy multi downloads but since
it is torrent it could be disk but I don't see a lot of disk activity

 This packet loss does not stop when there is no more load on ata(4).
 With another high load (like doing a full-system backup) the packet loss
 keeps increasing up to 90% and more - the system is not accesible over
 the internet anymore, packets get lost, SSH sessions or http requests
 get stale, I have to restart the system.

I think this has been well confirmed for TCP but I wonder if there is
a good UDP test to see if UDP is effected also.

 I experience no kernel panics. Another (maybe related) problem that
 occurs (but does not effect system responsiveness) is described in:

*SOMETIMES* just rerunning ifconfig on re(4) will do it (question to
Pyun why does the routing table loose the default route when I do this
even if re0 keep the same ip?)

Just for the record - I have almost the same hardware as Martin has, and
I had alike problems as described here.

You will be able to access my original problem report at:
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2007-11/msg00675.html

Since that time, I have moved to the Intel NICs, as I haven't had time
to debug this issue. There are no more network problems that I am aware
of, although I am having issues with interrupt storms described in the
other email from Martin.

I am open to any debugging suggestions, I might be also able to arrange
a remote ssh access to the machine, just let me know.

One thing you could check is if the network cards are sharing an irq
with other hardware; ps -xa | grep '\[irq'

If so, you could try to enable device polling(4) with ifconfig. The
sysctl kern.polling.enable must be set to 1, and the kernel must be
compiled with 'options DEVICE_POLLING'.

 Me either. I have a WIP version that fixes other issues on re(4) but
 I'm not sure whether it mitigates your issue. The overhauled re(4)
 supports larger descriptors(256 instead of 64) and TSO.

Before I try them what is the difference between these and two other

you repost them as patches? (if no on the second I will make an
attempt to do it but I am still new at making patches)

I think you answered the question when you replaced the old
re.HEAD.patch (which is the one you had made previously for a diff
issue on the same board)... appling it right now will give you feed
back in a day or so
