Hi, Developers:
I'm testing a litter modified ixgbe driver, version 2.3.10, for FreeBSD.
When I run the test for a while, I found the Rx stall, the detail is:
1 the NIC type is 82599, chipset id is 0x10fb8086.
2 the Rx tail and head register never change, and the rx queues are
empty, see detail of the the output of "sysctl dev.ix"
3 ther interrupt still be generated. So I use a variable ixgbe_reg_eicr
to store the EICR's value in interrupt handler, and find
the EICR's value is 0x20000(packet buffer overrun), see detail of the
"kgdb output".
4 the rx rings's rx_base and rx_buffers is correct, see detail of the
"kgdb output"
So I check the 82599 datasheet for the 0x20000, it says that:
Filed: Rx Miss
Bits: 17
Init value: 0b
Desc: Missed packet interrupt is activated for each received packet
that overflows the Rx packet buffer (overrun). Note that the packet is
dropped and also increments the associated RXMPC[n] counter.
But I'm not completely understand the "overflows the Rx packet buffer",
my question is
Does it means NIC got a packet that its size is larger than 1514( the
length value in the descripter)? or something else ?
Appreciate anyone's reply.
