In my test environment, I have 2 servers, each of which has a sky2 Marvell NIC connected to a switch as "eth0". On server "B", I type "nc -l -p 3409 > /dev/null" On server "A", I type "nc server-B 3409 < /dev/zero" I see lots of traffic from A->B, as would be expected. If I shutdown eth0 on server "B" using "ifdown eth0", wait a few seconds, and then re- enable eth0 on server "B" using "ifup eth0", I see the following in "dmesg" output on server B: sky2 eth0: disabling interface sky2 eth0: enabling interface sky2 eth0: ram buffer 48K sky2 eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control rx ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team As expected... The problem is that server B can occasionally end up in a state where it is unable to ping or access the local subnet anymore. Both "mii-tool" and "ethtool eth0" shows a link present. If I perform "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0" on server B, it doesn't help anything. If I unload the sky2 module, then things clear up and I'm back on the network again. I'm curious about this testcase because the symptom seems to match the earlier "tx timeout" messages; the driver tried to re-enable itself after a timeout, but it's still not able to see any traffic. Steps to reproduce: See "Problem Description" above. While traffic is continuously being transmitted from server "A" to server "B", shutdown the network interface on server "B", and then start the interface on server "B". Monitoring RX traffic on server "B" will indicate when it is no longer receiving the bytes sent from server "A".

Wilbur, if you're using a "desktop" (small) ethernet switch, power cycle it. It took me too long to realise that if one port negotiates down to 100Mb, it'll not run at higher speed until you powercycle the switch (found on at least 3 switches from 2 vendors).

As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.

Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel.

I can reliably get my new system (XFX nForce 630i motherboard) with an integrated Marvell PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller to lock up HARD. All I have to do is FTP anything from another gigabit-equipped machine on my LAN, and the system instantly locks up requiring a hard reset. NFS transfers will also lock the system up. At slower speeds (i.e. pulling updates over the Internet) lockups are random. Once it locks up, only a hard reset will work. I'm running Hardy Beta, but I had this problem in Gutsy as well. I'm also having problems with corrupted packages in {us,uk,de}.archive.ubuntu.com - so I can't even successfully download the nVidia proprietary display drivers (and thus I'm not using them). I'm not sure if that's an archive problem or if it's related to this awful sky2 driver. I'll have to find a cheap Gb NIC today and hope it's not Marvell.

[Bug 138611] Re: Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit
I notice a marked improvement when using the 2.6.23-rc6 kernel (kernel.org vanilla, compiled using the Master Kernel Thread @ UbuntuForums). My suggested solution is to use the sky2.c out of the vanilla kernel. The one in the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.22-11 reports "sky2 1.14". Type this to see your version. "sudo ethtool -i eth0" With 2.6.23 you get sky2 1.17. I suspect that there are missing patches in the Ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel (some were backported while others were not, when all needed to be backported at once). I think it needs to be sync'd with the vanilla kernel version. I am not certain that using 1.17 (from vanilla) is a solution but I think it is a good idea in general. The patches were committed to the mainstream kernel for good reason. Even if it doesn't solve my problems (which, so far, I think it has), it may solve others'. Sky2 is a fast- changing driver and all improvements need to be backported ASAP IMO, especially considering that sky2 hardly works for maybe 10% of those using it. And, sky2 supports a very popular network chipset on new computers (Marvell Yukon). I have attached a diff of the sky2.c from 2.6.23-rc6 and the one from the current Gutsy kernel. I think this is all that is needed for the changes. Here are the changes from 2.6.22-11 (Ubuntu) to 2.6.23-rc6, attached. I diff'd sky2.h and sky2.c and combined them into one diff file. I haven't tested compiling 2.6.22-11 with the new sky2 files yet (I have only compiled a 2.6.23-rc6 kernel) but I have a good feeling that sky2.c/sky2.h is where the problem lies. I hope to be able to test it myself very soon. Please consider this solution and it would be nice if others could test this patch so we can get it into the final Gutsy. You should be able to apply the patch like this. Keep Master Kernel Thread @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 handy. Save 2.6.22-11.32_sky2+2.6.23-rc6.patch (attached) to desktop. Prerequisite: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade". Reboot if there is a kernel update. Then follow these steps. If your kernel isn't exactly 2.6.22-11.32 then the patch should still work (unless there have been more modifications to sky2 since). 1. sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 2. cd /usr/src 3. tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2 4. Follow steps 1-3 at Master Kernel Thread (including getting in root). (Not step 4 because we have unpacked the Ubuntu linux source. Not step 5 because I have a modification.) 5. rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 linux && cd /usr/src/linux 6. patch -p2 < ~/Desktop/2.6.22-11.32_sky2+2.6.23-rc6.patch 7. Continue, starting from step 8 at Master Kernel Thread. You shouldn't need to go through any menu items because our current kernel is identical to the one we're compiling. For Step 10 it doesn't matter what revision you use, maybe something unique like "sky2" so it doesn't get confused with your current kernel. I hope this helps somebody compile an Ubuntu kernel w/ a new, fixed sky2. Most importantly, please report back if it works for you. Thank you.
