I changed the refresh time from 5 seconds to 1 second at 15.09. (1 second was seemingly auto changed to 2)
The logs show that gap between errors reduced from ~11 hours to ~ 2 hours.
This implies that the problem lies in the total data or number of screen refreshes sent not the actual time or uptime.Steve

Steve,
can you please try this: Add only screens that do not have any scrolling. When I stopped to give "scrolling screens" the problem look solved on my machine.
For "scroll" I mean when the text is bigger than the width of your screen, so it scrolls left/right.Thanks,

Long shot: When running at 100%, try and "kill" LCDd with signal 6 (kill -6 <pid of="" lcdd="">). This should give a memory image of the process (core dump). If you can make the core file available, I can give a try to loading it up in the debugger and see where the execution ended. The trick is that this needs to be a version of LCDd I have the code for, like V0.5.5, so the debugger can match the binary with the source. I have never done this, so this is will probably lead nowhere…</pid>
fmertz - LCDd hit 100% after 10 hours as suspected. I kill LCDd with "kill -6 <pid>" but it did not leave a core file, or not one I can find. I assume it would be named core–-- or similar and a find on the filesystem doesn't locate any corefiles. I'm I just looking in the wrong place?
My next step is to test with the debug-enabled LCDd, leaving the rest of v0.9 untouched.

By my calculations, you are reaching a problem at (7200[2hrs in secs]/2updates=) 3600 'updates' and I'm reaching it in (36000[10hrs in secs]/5updates=) 7200 'updates'. Which is interesting as well as 3600 is half of 7200.</pid>

I ran into that twice installing the pfSense LCDproc 5.5 Dev v0.8 package. So I had to manually install the package file after installing the pfSense package because no LCDproc 5.5 core files just the pfSene php front end.
So first install pfSense LCDproc 5.5 Dev package and then next do the following.
Here is the link to the core files to install go to console and do this:
pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/lcdproc-0.5.5.tbz

what ver of pfsense are your running? i'm using 2.1-dev and have to manually install binaries because the box is trying to install pbi instead… gets annoying but i've gotten used to it..
-
I am running 2.1-dev – LCDProc 0.5.5-dev v0.8 I didn't realize he had just updated to v0.9..... So, I just did a reinstall and seemed to install correctly this time. Sorry for not posting the version last time and now have v0.9 installed. Unless, something was fixed in one of the last gitsyncs for 2.1-dev??? Thanks for all you hard work...

Steve,
looking my secondary machine, I have the feeling that the problems are related to the "scrolling" feature of the panel.In fact I see sometime frozen screens where there is the scrolling… I will keep an eye on it and try to see if it is the problem...
Ciao,
MicheleHello,
I am running LCDproc 0.5.5 with the package 0.9 and only the "traffic (wan)" screen since 2 days and everything is going fine…Do anyone else has tried to avoid screens that do not scroll with a positive result?
Thanks,
Michele -
None of the screens I have enabled scroll (Uptime, States, Mbuf, & WAN with 5 second refresh) yet the display will still stop responding and the system cannot be connected to after 10 hours. The firewall continues to function normally as near as I can tell other than that - by that I mean, DHCP still works, existing hosts can continue to send/recv traffic and initate new traffic. Just the webif and SSH access no longer can connect due to the high load averages.
I have tried all combinations of sdecld.so and LCDd (v0.53, v0.55, debug-enabled LCDd) and having success ONLY on v0.53 of both the module and LCDd. Any mix of the various versions with that exception all send load to 100% at the 10 hour uptime mark. All testing was performed with the LCDdproc-dev-v0.9 package files changing only the sdeclcd.so and LCDd files - no other file was changed or modified.
I have over 48 hours of uptime without any visible problem running v0.53. This version will generate the following log entries every 10 hours but load stays less than 0.20 and the display works.

I'm not sure what was changed between 0.53 and 0.55 and would be willing to test 0.54 if someone can provide those files.

Hi,
in my case the the states screen definitely scrolls… I have a 20x4 LCD display, max states: 500'000. When the states are more than 10'000 the screen scrolls.
Can you pls tell me what is your display size and what is your max states setting?Thanks,

MicheleThe display is the 2x20 standard included on the Firebox X series (X700). My states are only 50000, so it doesn't scroll.
My display finally stopped working on v0.53 but it took 50 hours or the 5th 10-hour interval. Interestingly, the LCDd just died but the client continued to function and the box is as responsive as normal. The log shows the 'normal for me on this version' entries except for the missing "reconnect' entry.

Do anyone else has tried to avoid screens that do not scroll with a positive result?
Yes. Running interface traffic with WAN selected as the only screen has eliminated the 100% CPU problem (after 15hours testing at 1sec refresh).
I am also running the LCDd the fmertz compiled with debugging enabled but it gives me only a tiny amount of extra information. This is with logging set to level 5. I think I've not under stood how that's supposed to work. Time to re-read the developer guide!
I also tried running LCDd with different nice levels in order to be able access the box during the problem event but it made no difference. It seems like you should be able to set it to Nice 20 and it will be very low priority but that doesn't happen.
In fact if you look at the output of top it runs at 'r30' which I cannot find any reference to anywhere. :-\last pid: 27372; load averages: 0.02, 0.08, 0.06 up 0+23:30:46 12:43:59 48 processes: 1 running, 47 sleeping CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.4% interrupt, 99.3% idle Mem: 55M Active, 16M Inact, 55M Wired, 1060K Cache, 49M Buf, 359M Free Swap: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 44832 root 1 76 20 3656K 1396K wait 1:01 0.00% sh 4015 root 1 45 0 47452K 17464K nanslp 0:57 0.00% php 2024 nobody 1 74 r30 3368K 1500K nanslp 0:39 0.00% LCDd

Maybe another test: run the normal lcdproc client provided by the project. FWIW, I run lcdproc on 2 hosts (a NAS and the router itself), and LCDd on the router itself, and it seems to run just fine for weeks. lcdproc has a bunch of screens with scrolling, vbars, hbars, icons, big nums… This is Linux, but the same code. This could help isolate more info about the problem.
If you need it: https://github.com/downloads/fmertz/sdeclcd/lcdproc
For nice, the driver code sets the process priority to "realtime round robin" as part of the initialization for the portable "wait" routines. Maybe this is the "r" you are seeing. The call to set the priority was removed in the driver I posted earlier.
-
Folks,
I would like to kick off the effort to bring the LED support into the driver again. We have some support already, but only for the box I own (the X-Core-e). I was hoping folks with the other models could run a command to help me identify the EXACT ICH we need to code for. Best I can figure, this command is already in pfSense and should be run as root:
pciconf -r pci0:31:0 0:256
This command reads the PCI configuration area (256 bytes) for the Low Pin count (LPC) device. The LPC device does GPIO, and can control the LEDs. Based on the exact device id, I can look up the spec, and find out the offset for GPIO base register, etc.
I would like the output of the command, for the X-Core and X-Peak models. The key is the first 8 digits, the last 4 being 8086, Intel's vendor ID. Thanks.

I'll have to try your driver without priority setting and see what happens.
Steve
Edit: You were correct. The driver with priority removed can be set to nice 20. I am testing now with several scrolling screens to see if I can still access the box.
-
Hello everybody,
I am making some tests to improve the stability of the package from the "client side". Until now from what I read all the tries have been made on the binary package and the driver, I think that maybe also a little help from the client can solve some problems.I am testing this changes on my boxes and I find no problems, so I would like to share this changes with you.
The changes are:
-
Added a 20ms delay between each command sent from the client to LCDproc.
-
Better managed errors. Now the client resets the error counter every successful communication session with LCDproc (before was a global counter). The error counter is managed inside the client (lcdproc_client.php).
-
Because of the above change, now the "client script" (lcdclient.sh) do not cycle anymore.
I hope at least some of the problems will be solved… I wait for your feedback. The new version is XXX.0.9.1.
Thanks,
Michele -
-
… and we are with 0.9.2.
I didn't realize that there were some clients pending, that with the new error counter management could work behind. So now all the lcdproc_client.php processes are killed during the package resync.
Sorry for the people that was already upgrading do 0.9.1...
-
Looks good. :)
Now the error counter is in the php script (much better) why bother having lcdclient.sh at all?
Just call the php client from the rc file directly.Also I have been running fmertz's driver he removed real time priority from with Nice level 20. Doing this allows the box to remain responsive even when some error event occours. Since the LCD is really of no importance compared to the firewall functions it seems better to run it at minimum priority. E.g.
$start .= "\t/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c ". LCDPROC_CONFIG ."\n"; $start .= "\t/usr/bin/nice -20 ". LCDPROC_CLIENT ." &\n";

also this makes sense. Just we have to consider if this influences negatively the client or LCDd to refresh the data or communicate with the panel, but it's just a matter of tuning…

Folks, the SDEC driver for Fireboxes is now officially part of the upstream lcdproc project! I received confirmation this morning that my code submission was committed. I guess it should come to pfSense as part of the package when the project leaders decide the current development branch is stable enough for release.
Now, on to support for the LEDs…
-
That's great! So the next version of LCDproc will have the SDEC driver… fmerz, consider that the compiling option in pfSense is "WITH_USB=true" only, I don't know if with this option the SDEC driver will be compiled...
BTW, how's going with the new package version? I found out it's more stable, but anyway still give some problems... what do you think?
Thanks,

Device ID 25a1 is a 6300ESB, data sheet: http://ark.intel.com/products/27663/Intel-6300ESB-IO-Controller
For the X-Peak, the LEDs are on GPIO pins 40 and 41. This is part of the second set of pins, so there no blink support in hardware. We already knew this…
Anyone with an X-Core?

Hi,
how's going with the latest (0.9.2) package?Right now I am working on this:
- I divided / 2 the number of commands sent to LCDproc every cycle. So if before were sent 10 commands, now only 5
- I wrote a little better code for error handling
- I slowed down a bit the scrolling (just a little bit)
- Simplified the script to launch. There's no more lcdproc_client.sh.
Then I will:
4) add and test the "nice" command to the programs running
5) I will add a "top value" for waiting to the next cycle of 10 seconds. So it will be sure that the communication won't timeoutWhat else?
Ciao,
Michele -

Hmm, in what way?
There was a problem because the GPIO base is set to a non-standard value on the X-core.
On the other boxes it is at 0x480, which I believe is the standard value where as the X-Core is at 0x4080.Steve

The way I read it, this particular device ID is an ICH2, and has the GPIO base port stored at offset 0x58 (page 9-1). Fine. The value at that offset happens to be 4081, which, masked off is 4080 (this was listed in the pciconf command, and is already in your code). Fine. In your code, you use port 4080 + 0x0f. Offset 15 in the GPIO area is for GPIO level, and bits control pins. Fine. The blink register is at offset 0x18 (32 bit), so I am not sure how it can blink with just the level register, or how it is not possible to turn the LEDs off…
For the X-Core-e, the Level port controls on/off, the Blink port controls the, well, blinking, and it all can be turned off with putting the bit to zero.
-
I had to re-read the thread to remind myself what happened. I agree with you it doesn't make any sense! In fact you can see, here, where I was expecting the registers to work as you describe above but the experimental results show otherwise.
One thing that is different about the X-core is that you can set the LED state in the BIOS (though I've never tried it myself). And you have a choice of red or green and fast or slow flash. There is no fast/slow blink described in the documentation yet it is clearly available. :-\

I'm noticing a bug that I haven't seen since before the re-write of the package. If my second WAN does down (3G wireless), and comes back up; lcdclient seems to lose the connection to LCDd. In the past I would have pages of errors in the system log. but i dont have any this time. I do want to say this started with the last changes.
Still want to see if I can reproduce this on the fly (maybe tin cup around the 3G Wireless USB stick) but wanted to report it
Edit: I think this may have been a fluke… my 3g went down a couple of times last night and no issues with lcdproc

Fmertz,
what do you mean? I just read the entire changelog and the release notes but I didn't find anything about that. Can you give me some references?EDIT: Btw, yes, the client is reading the responses and log on pfSense if there is some error reported (messages with huh?)
Now I am running the binary 0.5.3 and the package 0.9.2 to see what changes. With 0.5.5 it looks like there are some problems having more than one screen, like there are problems for LCDd to "switch" during the screen rotation.
If you all set only one screen with 0.5.3 and pkg 0.9.2 do you have this problem?
Thanks,

Hi Cino,
well, this should have start with the last version of the package.Before the LCDclient was trying to connect to LCDd forever (which caused endless lists of log entries and high CPU usage), now if it fails for 3 times straight it will end. In the while if LCDd restart to respond, it connects and resets the error counter.
I can understand that a gateway failture may cause a reset of the routes and the states, but if the client gets disconnected it starts other 2 times to reconnect (about 10 seconds between each attempt). Maybe we should increase it to 4… what do you think about it?
Thanks,

https://github.com/fmertz/sdeclcd/blob/master/BUGS
The documentation for responses is here: http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/docs/lcdproc-0-5-5-dev.html#language-messages
It says: LCDd can send messages back to the client. These messages can be directly related to the last command, or generated for some other reason. Because messages can be generated at any moment, the client should read from the connection at regular intervals. A very simple client could simply ignore all received messages. Not reading the messages will cause trouble !
I read this to mean that LCDd could generate more than one response to a command, or even send text outside of typical responses to commands. Does the PHP code accommodate for this? Reading the code, there seems to be the assumption that only 1 response comes back, maybe leaving responses hanging, and slowly filling the buffer. Just a thought.

It says: LCDd can send messages back to the client. These messages can be directly related to the last command, or generated for some other reason. Because messages can be generated at any moment, the client should read from the connection at regular intervals. A very simple client could simply ignore all received messages. Not reading the messages will cause trouble !

well… the client polls the data from LCDd, but maybe it's not enough... I am trying to see if I can do that better... in the while THANKS for the suggestions, this looks to me as the right direction! ;)

If could be REALLY that… I am deeply debugging, and I found out that for each command I send to LCDd, this answer with some answer MORE... so in the end I send:
widget_set scr_time text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "2/7/2012 23:19" widget_set scr_time text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_uptime text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "17 days 9:18" widget_set scr_uptime text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_system text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "CPU 11%, Mem 56%" widget_set scr_system text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_load text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "0.06, 0.04, 0.01" widget_set scr_load text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_states text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "Cur/Max 4578/500000" widget_set scr_states text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_ipsec text_wdgt 1 2 20 2 h 4 "IPSEC Disabled" widget_set scr_ipsec text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%" widget_set scr_traffic title_wdgt 1 1 "IN: 45.1 Kbps" widget_set scr_traffic text_wdgt 1 2 "OUT: 2.1 Kbps" widget_set scr_traffic text_summary 1 4 "01% 56% 4529 37%"
and it answers:
success success success success success success success success success success success success success success success ignore scr_system listen scr_load ignore scr_load listen scr_states ignore scr_states listen scr_ipsec ignore scr_ipsec listen scr_traffic ignore scr_traffic listen scr_time ignore scr_time listen scr_uptime ignore scr_uptime listen scr_system ignore scr_system listen scr_load
so if the ratio between write and get is 1:1, sooner or later the LCDd buffer will get full and LCDd will hang. Sorry but I found that code there and I really gave for granted that the ratio was 1:1, but the client gets too many answers from LCDd. The client must to "suck" all that answers in order to keep LCDd stable.
I will test this and publish a new release ASAP!
Ciao,

Looks promising. :)
More excellent work.Steve

If you all set only one screen with 0.5.3 and pkg 0.9.2 do you have this problem?
Thanks,
MicheleI'm testing now, using only the "Interface Traffic" screen set to WAN. It doesn't scroll left/right but obviously updates so the updating activity should tell us something I hope.
Will post an update in about 12 hours.

Which also can be read the other way (negative test): if you remove the code to read the responses, does LCDd die quickly, with 100% CPU?
