Kernel Panic on pfSense+ 24.03-RELEASE
-
@stephenw10 I have uploaded the files as a tar Archive.
As a reference:
- pfSense-1 is the "usual primary" (currently in persistent CARP maintenance, thus backup), it produced a bunch of crashes out of which one dump was still available.
- pfSense-2 is the "current primary" (usually backup), I added 4 dumps to the upload.
-
Ok these are all identical crashes, on both nodes. So that's definitely a software issue.
Backtrace:

But you're not running HAProxy.
I do note that in each case it appears an OpenVPN instance is unable to service incoming requests:
<7>sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff8002a4cd400 (local:/var/etc/openvpn/server2/sock): Listen queue overflow: 2 already in queue awaiting acceptance (1 occurrences), euid 0, rgid 0, jail 0Do you have OpenVPN servers running TCP?
-
@stephenw10 Yes, we're running two OpenVPN Servers on TCP. One is a pretty boring 12 Clients instance while the other one is one of our 2 primary VPN Services. Both Servers (one on UDP the other one - this one "server2" - on TCP).
Both usually serve around 120-150 users throughout the day while I cannot really tell how many users are connected at the point in time where the unit panics.
-
Hmm, but at least one of those servers is UDP only?
-
@stephenw10 yes, we run udp/1194 (server1, 120-150 users), tcp/1194 (server2, 120-150 users) and tcp/1195 (server3, 10-12 users).
-
Hmm, the OpenVPN message is probably just a symptom then. What do you listening on TCP from?:
sockstat -P tcp -
@stephenw10 Full output (with redacted IPs) below, but major listening daemons are:
- nginx (80/18288, from pfSense)
- ssh (12689, from pfSense)
- openvpn (1194)
- isc-dhcpd (520, I switched to kea but it showed same behaviour so I reverted)
- node_exporter (9100)
- frr (179 /26xx)
- zabbix-agent (10050)

Earlier today I disabled the DHCP Service in pfSense as I can currently live without it.
-
Great thanks. We have some devs engaged on this now, there are a few users hitting it.
-
@stephenw10 Thank you.
Feel free to contact me privately in case you need additional details or I can provide anything.

Bug to track it: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15684
