Kernel Panic

odin

I have exactly the same kernel crashes in FreeBSD7 and 8. To me, it seems to be related to VLAN tags and NICs.

Looks like it may be in the Intel driver… fun.

LostInIgnorance

so, is it something you guys can fix or is it something with freebsd?

jimp

Hopefully it's fixable, though lem is legacy em, so it's some rather old/early em chipsets. Might explain why so few people have hit it.

LostInIgnorance

If it is an intel problem, then why would I be recieving the same problem on my soekris net5501-70 board? that uses a VIA VT6105M chip.

jimp

Without a backtrace from there it's impossible to say.

where do you see it is an old legacy nic/driver? (not questioning, just Curious) :)
just an fyi, had no problem with oct snaps.

Thanks for your help

if_lem.c. lem is legacy em, a normal em card would have been in if_em.c

Hmm - that line looks similar to the panic I get when captive portal is enabled on my box.


exclusive sleep mutex fxp0 (network driver) r = 0 (0xc36de018) locked @ /usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c:1288

CryoGenID gets a panic but with yet another set of drivers. Cino does as well.
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,29839.60.html

Is there anything we can do to help besides posting back traces?

jimp

I just spent a bit of time on the phone with someone who hit this. It does seem to be related to OpenVPN somehow (or the kind of traffic that is seen more often with OpenVPN I suppose). Once we had the developer kernel on it stayed up for quite a while until we had someone connect with OpenVPN and generate some traffic.

jimp

A patch was just committed by ermal that might be a potential fix for this, or at least change the behavior somewhat. Give the next snapshot a try.

Jonb

Just as a side note I was getting a kernal panic with the PPPOA interface being selected to WAN rather than rl1. Not sure if that is due to incorrect config but if so might be worth removing to save people the hassle.

LostInIgnorance

Still getting the panic, I don't think the commit happened on the most recent snap.

It did happen. I manually restarted the builders after the patch went in. So apparently it still isn't quite right.

jimp

Could someone who can readily reproduce this panic give this custom firmware build a try?

http://cvs.pfsense.org/~jimp/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA5-i386-20110114-2041.tgz

It was built without a patch that does the extra mbuf operations that may be triggering the panic.

Bad news JimP, still crashes.

currently running 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Thu Jan 13 19:33:19 EST 201
not sure how far back this happens.

in a test network -
2 machines, each w/ 4 intel nics (em0 - em3)
WAN, LAN, Opt1, Opt2 (CARP interface)

Running CARP on WAN, LAN, Opt1 interfaces
Syncing on Opt2 interface.

Recently started getting panics on box2 when changing settings on box1.

Out of curiosity, what type of network cards do you have in that box? Is it rl and em both? Or just em? or just rl? Or something else?

LostInIgnorance

one em network (gig embedded on the board of an old dell p4). All network traffic is VLAN'd on that one interface.
