PfSense crashed on Alix
-
This was taken with the usb adapter inserted. But it is usb on the Macintosh side. It is still serial on the Alix…
-
ahh… well then that wouldn't explain the ucom then. The ALIX would only see serial, not a USB device on its end.
-
Again :-(

Possibly. Did it happen at all before you started testing it?
We'll get Ermal or someone to take a look at the backtraces when time permits.
-
Yeah, the first two happened before I think. But at least the first. All the ones from yesterday happened when I tested the igmp proxy…
-
Another one again. But I can only see stuff starting with the prompt most of the time….

Do we have any info yet? Today this happened again and I really would like to know what this is. I can simply install 1.2.3 again and wait until 2.0 is out of beta, but I want to help the project. So devs, what could be the problem? Anything else I should check?
-
Would you guys please be so kind to give me an answer. Otherwise it is no fun posting these backtraces…
Today it happened again... -
Unfortunately with the snapshot server out of commission until the new one is put in place there isn't much to do or try except keep track of the traces.
-
Yeah well but this doesn't answer my question what the real problem is. Or do you think that these problems were silently fixed in a new snapshot?
-
It's hard to say with any certainty until someone with more in-depth knowledge of the freebsd kernel (such as ermal) can have a look and see if he can tell what is going on.
-
Yep. That's what I'm waiting for ;)
-
I've looked at a lot of FreeBSD dumps. This sort of problem is sometimes fairly straight forward to find but can also be very difficult to find. It can have a variety of causes including passing the wrong type of data structure to a function and freeing a data structure then reusing it while its being used for another purpose.
If I was looking at this problem I expect the most useful items of information to me would be
-
a precise identification of the build on the which the problem was observed
-
a way of making it happen, even if it makes it happen only one in four times
One of the back traces shows:
ucom_attach(c0d56e6d,c0cd10c0,c2378cb0,c2378c98,0,…) at ucom_attach+0x542b
ucom_attach(c24ab000,0,109,cd9a2d5d,38ea,...) at ucom_attach+0x89d7
The offsets can be misleadng in that static functions don't appear in the symbol table available to the crash time debugger. Since 0x1000 is 4k, 0x89d7 is at least 32k and its pretty unlikely that an attach function would have anything like that amount of code. This offset likely is in some static function whose code starts at a higher address than the code for ucom_attach.Another of the reports shows:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x72636524
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc096993c
stack pointer = 0x28:0xc2378b10
frame pointer = 0x28:0xc2378b64If you look at the virtual address you might notice that it could be considered to be printable text: "?ecr" (the ? is for the character who binary representation is 0x24; I don't have the mapping from 0x24 to printable character in my head). From the reported code it would appear that a data structure referenced by rn_match has a text string where rn_match is expecting it to hold the address of another data structure. The challenge is to find out how that happened.
-
-
What I see now is that this happens every 3-4 days. So I guess I will do a reboot now every night via cron to see if this then stops until I have better builds…
-
With the daily reboot in place I am not seeing this problem anymore. So what is the status of these problems? Has anyone (ermal) taken a look at the bt's? Is this "problem" fixed in newer snaps?
-
Today this happened again. So I cannot use this workaround :(

-
I use 2.0-beta1 on my ALIX but has not crashed on me yet. I haven't passed much traffic through it though as it's just been used for light testing and such.
-
i use 22nd snapshot on alix, hasnt crashed for me till now so might be some hardware issue or something like that
