Restarting network & vlan interface = kernel memory corruption (if_vlan / conf/63700 redux)
[Originally from freebsd-hackers@ / Feb 2008; freebsd-net Jun 2010] All: pf conf/63700 got the ball rolling on fixing cloned/VLAN interface management with rc.d/netif, but a very specific problem still remains. For example, adding an alias to a VLAN and running: /etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart is a failure. --- Take the following rc.conf(4) config: hostname="sexdrugsandunix" cloned_interfaces="vlan14" ifconfig_em0="up media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex -tso" ifconfig_vlan14="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.128 vlan 14 vlandev em0 up" ifconfig_vlan14_alias0="inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.255" Change it to include a second alias without a reboot, instead run 'rc.d/netif restart', as works on a physical interface: hostname="sexdrugsandunix" cloned_interfaces="vlan14" ifconfig_em0="up media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex -tso" ifconfig_vlan14="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.128 vlan 14 vlandev em0 up" ifconfig_vlan14_alias0="inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_vlan14_alias1="inet 1.2.3.6 netmask 255.255.255.255" The result will be: % ifconfig vlan14 [bsekle...@sureshot ~]$ ifconfig vlan14 vlan14: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu inet 1.2.3.6 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.158.152 inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.158.255 1) I'm not sure where the .152 broadcast comes from. ?! 2) The new _alias1= data is now in the primary IP slot 3) The primary IP is lost, there is no routable IP 4) The original _alias0= data is now in the 1st alias slot 5) rc.d/routing fails because the interface lacks a routable IP with a valid netmask/broadcast combination. --- Problem #1: rc.d/netif::network_stop() The core problem is that rc.d/netif::network_stop() never calls network.subr::clone_down() in the same way that rc.d/netif::network_start() calls network.subr::cloned_up() I'd speculate that this is a design decision not to destroy network interfaces that certain userland daemons (DHCP, RTADVD, BPF) may be strictly bound to; I disagree. Even if you explicitly pass your VLAN interface to rc.d/netif, a stop doesn't call 'ifconfig [VL] destory', and, when 'rc.d/netif start' is called later, SIOCSETVLAN results. jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 destroy jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 create inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 666 vlandev em0 jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 create inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 666 vlandev em0 ifconfig: create: bad value A simple rc.d/network_stop() patch could fix this problem if we can avoid bikeshedding. -- Problem #2: VLAN interface kernel data structures maintain configuration data after being destroyed and re-created %ifconfig vlan666 vlan666: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3 ether 00:0c:29:a1:4b:9d inet 192.168.15.54 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.15.255 media: Ethernet 1000baseT status: active vlan: 666 parent interface: em0 %sudo ifconfig vlan666 destroy %sudo ifconfig vlan666 create %ifconfig vlan666 vlan666: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3 ether 00:0c:29:a1:4b:9d !!**>> inet 192.168.15.54 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.15.255 <<**!! media: Ethernet 1000baseT status: active vlan: 666 parent interface: em0 Now, that's something you don't see very day!! NOTE: I can't get that persistent IP data problem to happen consistently, but its highly reproducible. I also have no idea on the fixes, I'll check this weekend, but I have a work-around. To avoid destroying your routing table after adding an alias to a VLAN interface in rc.conf(5), simply run: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/netif [VLAN] start DO NOT RESTART, and you should be okay. ~BAS References: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-February/023440.html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=63700&cat= (Circa 2004) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2007-September/015447.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2010-June/025514.html -- Brian A.

PXE + sysinstall(8) install.cfg: DHCP Attribute to map install config/policy to system MAC?
All:
The install.cfg mechanism is pretty wicked.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a really efficient way
to provide new clients (or class of clients) an install.cfg
without rebuilding an MFSROOT image.
At least with pxeboot(8), in TFTP-only-mode, using
dhcpd.conf(5) client{} entries, there isn't a way
to differentiate policies.
It's just going to go looking for /boot/loader.rc
and /boot/loader.conf from wherever DHCP told PXE
to fetch pxeboot(8) from.
From there, you need to custom compile a 5 meg
mfsroot image for each [class of] client.
With an NFS stage-2 boot, I suppose you could set:
option root-path "/export/${client}Root" etc.,
but then your 5 meg mfsroot is just extracted
1-per-client.
Still seems a bit ugly. It seems like we could teach
sysinstall(8) to fetch install.cfg by some standard
mechanism.
Possibly a TFTP or NFS URL passed from the DHCP server
-> boot loader -> kernel sysctl -> sysinstall(8).
For example, the Sun SPARC4s would TFTP fetch their
stage 1 boot loader via TFTP with a filename req
of their MAC address in HEX format, so one could
just put symlinks in place.
Thoughts or other ideas?
~BAS
PS: our in-tree tftpd(8) is an unending source of sorrow and misery and
clinical despair. ports/net/freebsd-tftp is a lifesaver (it actually
has debugging)

Debugging RLIMITs signals: SIGXFSZ and SIGXCPU
All: I've got a process that is mysteriously receiving a SIGTERM (or other signal. It's a RADIUS daemon; runs a non-Root (not privsep, unfortunately). Identical hardware, identical code, identical config on 6.3-PL is fine. On 8, the daemon is logging receipt of a non-HUP signal and exiting out. Our best theory at the moment are changes in default RLIMITs between RELENG_6and RELENG_8. For example: 6.3: open files (-n) 11095 8: open files (-n) 3520 Either that, or a memory/file handler/other leak that only manifests in RELENG_8. Either way, I'd like to debug the kernel handling of RLIMITs. The best I can find are references to: /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c::lim_cb() to SIGXCPU for RLIMIT_CPU /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c::ffs_write() to SIGXFSZ or ... RLIMIT_FSIZE Not sure about RLIMIT_RSS, RLIMIT_AS, RLIMIT_NOFILE or others. Unfortunately, in the two places I see, the call 'psignal()' is used in leui of 'killproc()' to pass those custom RLIMIT's related signals and psignal() doesn't have any logging like killproc(). It would be really nice if there could be some standardized logging for RLIMIT* related resource exhaustion. For example: /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_pageout.c: killproc(bigproc, "out of swap space"); So my question are: 1) Anyone else interested in having this "feature" (RLIMIT debugging, possibly a sysctl(3))? 2) Does anyone have any idea how other RLIMIT_ exhaustion is handled? A lot of other checks in the code in kernel_resource.c seems to 'return (error);' on resource exhaustion.

The default skeletons Mel: You were right to some extent. However, the problem is more complicated (or less complicated, depending). First, FreeBSD's default php.ini doesn't have: $variables_order = "EGPCS", so $ENV[] array wasn't getting popualted at all. Second, Apache FreeBSD RC scripts inherit the user environment from sudo(8) unless you pass -H or -i flag/args E.x.:, % sudo -H -i -u root /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart Compared to: $ su - Password: $ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart Result in completely different results in PHP's $_ENV[] Additionally, the results of "$ su -" differ completely from the shell environment that executes when rc(8) is first run at boot time.

Default list of exported variables in sh(1) - $HOSTNAME
All:
I've got a fun problem ...
I'm having trouble tracking down where the default list of exported
variables is set for sh(1).
I've got a piece of PHP code that runs on GNU/Linux but not FreeBSD
because (I think) $HOSTNAME is exported by default.
The PHP CLI calls $_ENV["HOSTNAME"], which under GNU/Linux returns:
$ php -r 'print gethostbyaddr(gethostbyname($_ENV["HOSTNAME"]))'
soundwave.wscollaborativefusion.com
In HTTP/CGI mode, I can call $_SERVER[]. But $_ENV[] should work in both
CLI and HTTP mode.
However, because Apache is spawned from sh(1) from rc(8) and in FreeBSD
6.x, $HOSTNAME is not exported by default, which is what $_ENV[] uses
(getenv()):
$ uname -a
FreeBSD bdb00 6.3-RELEASE-p2
$ export
SSH_CLIENT
USER
MAIL
HOME
SSH_TTY
PAGER
ENV
LOGNAME
BLOCKSIZE
TERM
PATH
SHELL
SSH_CONNECTION
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE
EDITOR
---
Compare to:
linux$ uname -a
Linux soundwave 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
linux$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.33(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
linux$ export|wc -l
52
linux$ export|grep -i host
declare -x HOSTNAME="soundwave"
It could be set in the sources for sh(1) or shells/bash, login(1),
possibly somehow related to PAM.
src/usr.bin/login/login.c has :
static int export(const char *s) {
* - Do not export certain variables. This list was taken from the
* Solaris pam_putenv(3) man page.
* Then export it.
static const char *noexport[] = {
"SHELL", "HOME", "LOGNAME", "MAIL", "CDPATH",
"IFS", "PATH", NULL
}..
$HOSTNAME not listed here
---
src/bin/sh/var.c has environment(){} and at least one other call to
getnamebyaddr()
Bash has set_machine_vars() in variables.c:
temp_var = set_if_not ("HOSTNAME", current_host_name);
-
There are also about 500 calls to getenv() in the PHP source code under
main/, however none explicitly for $HOSTNAME.
This is similar to bash, so unless the Redhat people are maintaining
lots of SRPM patches to Bash _and_ PHP, I'm prepared to isolate the
problem to FreeBSD and sh(1)/login(1)
Thoughts? (Happy holidays all!)

PXE Boot - Silent kernel dmesg output
All: Has anyone experience a PXE boot problem on amd64 (Dell PowerEdge 850, 1850, DRAC4, DRAC5) where kernel dmesg output is suppressed on VGA Console? I've tried kernels, mfsroot, and pxeboot from 6.4-RC2, 6.3-PLX, 7.1-B2 builds. I've verified stock /boot/device.hints, /defaults/loader.conf, and /boot/loader.conf are in place on my NFS export. Here's a slightly ambiguous screenshot: http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~seklecki/pxe_lock.jpg Note: Its hard to tell, but the spindle has already become a block cursor. We used to see this in early 6.x days and assumed it was a bum bPXE configuration on the server-side; eventually mfsroot would get loaded and sysinstall(8) welcome would be the first thing displayed after the 2nd stage boot loader. Breaking out of the loader reveals: console="vidconsole" Very very strange... I'm going to have a look at tcpdump(8) on NFS reads to my export and determine if it is indeed actually reading loader.conf(5). However, the system-wide defaults w/o loader.conf + loader.rc + boot.conf shouldn't prohibit kernel VGA console output. -- Brian A. Seklecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Collaborative Fusion, Inc.

Check_CVSUp / PServer - Nagios Plugins?
Hey all: One of the big pitfalls of running a public CVS/CVSup/FTP mirror seems to be poor reporting on failed updates. I'd like add some Nagios monitoring to our project. For FTP and CVSUP rsyncs, I can have my cron(8)'d update scripts touch(1) a file if [ $? = 0 ]; then check them with libexec/nagios/check_file_age for mtime/utime. However, I'd also like to monitor the CVSup and PServer services as well at the protocol level. There do not seem to be any plugins in the public domain. Ideas: CVSUp: - php/perl/python bindings/libraries to talk cvsup protocol and maybe query a list of collections, plus the protocol version negotiated? - Is there maybe a way to exec() the cvsup(1)/csup(1) client in "list" mode? Does the protocol have a list operation? CVS Pserver: - Maybe just do a "cvs log src/Makefile" -- verifies that the protocol is active. SSH: - Duh FTP/RSYNC: - Yea Thougths?

Re: Suppressing "Limiting icmp unreach response" log messages
Install syslog-ng 2.x from ports.
source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log");
unix-dgram("/var/run/logpriv" perm(0600));
internal(); file("/dev/klog"); };
Kernel messages from /dev/klog get mapped to "user.notice" syslog, so:
log { source(src); filter(f_user); filter(f_notice);
destination(mailadmin); };
Or the destionation of your choice.

libdisk(3), geom(4), gmirror(8), sysinstall(8)
All: There was a patch to libdisk in late 2005 that added geom(4) support to libdisk. I'm noticing that Disk_Names() doesn't grab contact/ or mirror/ volumes, though. It still depends on kern.disks. Should I add my gmirror/gconcat probing code to /usr.sbin/ sysinstall/devices.c directly, or should I enable it in libdisk?

_devname in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/devices.c
All:
Does anyone know the relationship between this structure (major, minor,
delta, etc.) and real device IDs? Obviously devd(8) isn't running in
the MFS install kernel, but I assume the magic still happens.
Also, I don't see that major/minors indexed here actually matching a
booted SMP kernel?
$ ls /dev/mfi*
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 32 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfi0
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 85 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 87 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 95 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1a
[...snip...]
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 101 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid0s1g
crw-r- 1 root operator0, 86 Dec 14 13:16 /dev/mfid1
But devices.c lists the major as:
{ DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "mfid%d", "LSI MegaRAID SAS", 254, 65538, 8, 4 },
I'm pretty sure neither 254 and/or 32/85 are match the major on the
boot/install MFS kernel. They don't seem to be related, yet when i
screw with struct{} _devname, I break device detection, so it is still
used in some way.
I'm fuzzy on how these M/M are used in FreeBSD -- I missed the whole
auto-magic assignment period during the 5x days.

Re: PowerEdge 860 (Resend)
All:
Here's an update on the PE860 w/ FBSD. See dmesg(8) for FreeBSD
6.3/amd64 (RC2) on PowerEdge 860 w/ Xeon & SATA:
http://www.nycbug.org/?NAV=dmesgd;f_dmesg=;f_bsd=;f_nick=;f_descr=;dmesgid=1935#1935
Note that the ICH7 (Yes, still ICH7, not 8-9) is a SATA300 but the WDC
Caviar run at 150 :~{
Broadcom ethernet has not changed -- is a "Broadcom BCM5750 B1, ASIC
rev. 0x4101" (same as 850)
The 860 is an 850 in just about every measurable aspect. At least
they're shipping WDC instead of Maxtor.

gmirror(8) on 6.3 mfsroot / fixit
All: I see that gmirror(8) is available on the 6.3 fixit file system, but still not a part of the mfsroot. Is this a crunchgen problem?

We had some serious stability issues with two R1s. Yay for beta testing $6k servers. You'll want to read the entire thread about mfi(4) and bce(4) instability on RELENG_6. Someone just reported a geometry size reporting error with the new PERC/6 that Dell is pushing, so stick with PERC/5. My personal recommendation is to use em(4) and disable onboard Broadcom and forget that Dell ever started shipping Broadcom. ~BAS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Pioneer DVR-112D/1.21 refuses to write CDs, only writes DVDs
Normally that means that the drive is not ready to burn (Door not closed, or media not ready). Its possible that the driver is sensing that data wrong from the hardware, too. You only have the one drive in the system? No possible /dev/ confusion? Try cdrtools (Good luck with the syntax) ~BAS On Sat, 17 Nov 2007, Yuri wrote: Are you using burncd(1) or ports/sysutils/cdrtools ?
