Good Morning! I have a simple tunnel established between two FreeBSD machines. The tunnel is encrypted using IPSEC and Racoon. Prior to 5.3-*, I have never experienced any issues with it.
Using the same configuration in 5.3-*, the tunnel is still established and simple traffic can be sent across the tunnel. When a sudden burst of packets is sent through the tunnel, that particular connection completly and permanantly freezes. An example of this is a simple SSH session to another FreeBSD machine where a dmesg is issued. About 5 lines into the dmesg, the connection freezes up. I have read a lot about the MPSAFE/GIANT situation in 5.3-*, and noticed that my kernel warned me that MPSAFE was forced to be disabled due to IPSEC's requirement to be in a GIANT-LOCKED environment. I havn't yet determined that this particular issue is what is causing my problems. When racoon is disabled and IPSEC is removed from the kernel, I do not experience this issue. Does anyone have any ideas or information? Thanks in advance!
