I give a try to your solution by modifying the /boot/loader.conf but it makes no difference.
It seems that the entry I write in the file are not affecting the kernel.
I use the following config:
hw.pci3.5.0.dc0.irq=12
hw.pci3.6.0.dc1.irq=13I checked the pci addresse swith dmesg.

I use the following config:
hw.pci3.5.0.dc0.irq=12
hw.pci3.6.0.dc1.irq=13You should have used INTA rather than dc0 and dc1. See my post about this!
It might be helpful to have a bit of background on PCI devices. Each PCI device can use up to 4 interrupt request lines. They are called INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD. Most devices use INTA. The PCI interrupt request lines are connected to IRQs according to the whim of the motherboard designer. The /boot/loader.conf.local line```
hw.pci3.5.0.INTA.irq=12As far as I know, there is no code that would act on a line like:``` hw.pci3.5.0.dc0.irq=12The bus, device and function numbers you have used look plausible but I have no idea if they are correct.
Edit: I had the parameters in the loader variable name incorrect and consequently the suggested variables and values in this reply won't work.

Hi
First of all, my system is running even with interrupt storm on irq10.
The mapping of the NICs IPSO <-> pfSense can be deduced from the bootlog of IPSO, below:
eth-s1p1 <-> dc0
eth-s1p2 <-> dc1
eth-s2p1 <-> dc2
eth-s2p2 <-> dc3
eth1 <-> fxp0
eth2 <-> fxp1
eth3 <-> fxp2
eth4 <-> fxp3This is confirmed by the experience of connecting stuff to these ports. The four first NICs, the Digital ones, are the left ones: eth-s1p2 stands for slot 1 port 2, the other ones are the Intel NICs.
From the same bootlog, I can extract the INTA, INTB, etc. and the corresponding irq, but not the PCI bus number. I don't know what "rev" and "onboard" stand for.

Based on the posting by pierref of the IPSO output (which gives the actual IRQs for the NICs), I suggest```
hw.pci3.5.0.INTA.irg=11
hw.pci3.6.0.INTA.irg=15if the two NICs are in slot 1 andhw.pci3.5.0.INTA.irg=15
hw.pci3.6.0.INTA.irg=12The two NICs on the plugin cards are downstream of a PCI bridge which "swizzles" the interrupt lines. This may add a complication which I haven't accounted for. Please try the appropriate suggestion and report back the outcome. A further complication is that I'm not sure if the startup output reports the IRQ from the PCI configuration registers (wrong in many cases on IPSO systems) or the actual IRQ the software considers the device using. The output of pfSense shell command``` vmstat -i ```is probably the best report. -
Hi,
So I ried with the folowing both version without any result:
hint.pci3.5.0.INTB.irq="12" hint.pci3.6.0.INTC.irq="13"and
hw.pci3.5.0.INTB.irq=12
hw.pci3.6.0.INTC.irq=13 -
I tried:
hint.pci2.3.0.INTD.irq="6" hint.pci2.4.0.INTA.irq="10" hint.pci2.5.0.INTB.irq="11" hint.pci2.6.0.INTC.irq="12" hint.pci3.5.0.INTB.irq="11" hint.pci3.6.0.INTC.irq="15" hint.pci4.5.0.INTB.irq="15" hint.pci4.6.0.INTC.irq="12"and still have interrupt storm detected on "irq10:"; throttling interrupt source and something related to stray irq7.
The output of vmstat -i is
interrupt total rate irq0: clk 53059 99 irq4: uart0 13408 25 irq7: 14 0 stray irq7 14 0 irq10: dc0 dc1 dc2+ 744325 1396 irq11: ubsec0 fxp0* 51603 96 irq14: ata0 3684 6 Total 866107 1624I will try the suggestion of wallabybob and post the results here.

Hi,
It's atrange that all these config are not afecting the irq maping!
The question is: is it possible to force a config?Pierre do you have a running iposo? If yes do you have checked if there is some kernel option set?
Alex

Hi Alex
I don't have any IPSO running no more. I can provide you the full output of the bootlog I saved some weeks ago, before I installed pfSense. See the attached file: that is all what I kept. I also have an image of the disk, but it is several GB big.
Meilleures salutations.

Pierre and Alex, My apologies. My hasty reading of the source code led me to misinterpret the parameters in the loader variable assignments I posted earlier. I have done some testing and confirmed I can change the reported interrupts on my system through the mechanism I have suggested (after correction of the parameters).
I haven't seen any reports that either of you have followed exactly my previous suggestions. I hope we can all pay closer attention to the details.
Lets start with the fxps:
| Device | IPSO irq | FreeBSD irq |
| eth1/fxp0 | 6 | 11 |
| eth2/fxp1 | 10 | 11 |
| eth3/fxp2 | 11 | 11 |
| eth4/fxp3 | 12 | 11 |Suppose eth2/fxp1 is in use. It interrupts on irq10 but FreeBSD thinks it interrupts on irq11 so FreeBSD will call the interrupt handler for eth2/fxp1 on an irq11 interrupt. If eth2/fxp1 interrupts then FreeBSD will call the irq10 handlers (none of which is the actual eth2/fxp1 handler) none of which will clear the eth2/fxp1 interrupt condition so irq10 interrupt will happen again and again: irq10 storm!
The following lines in /boot/loader.conf.local should fix this:```
hw.pci0.2.3.INTA.irq=6
hw.pci0.2.4.INTA.irq=10
hw.pci0.2.5.INTA.irq=11
hw.pci0.2.6.INTA.irq=12where the value of the variable hw.pci0.2.3.INTA.irq specifies the interrupt line to use for the device with PCI address (PCI domain=0, PCI bus =2, PCI device number on bus = 3). Please try this, reboot after updating /boot/loader.conf.local and verify the irqs reported in the dmesg output and the output of
vmstat -iEdit: Corrected typo in lines for /boot/loader.conf.local -
Hi wallabybob
I am really happy to read your post. You look like the first person understanding exactly what's happening here. Alex and I are more Linux men and noobs in the world of pfSense/FreeBSD.
I am ready to test what you are proposing, but I will probably not be able to do it today, because of other priorities.
I will make my file /boot/loader.conf.local look like:
hw.pci0.2.3.INTA.irq=6 hw.pci0.2.4.INTA.irq=10 hw.pci0.2.5.INTA.irq=11 hw.pci0.2.6.INTA.irq=12correcting the tipo on the last line: INTA/irq -> INTA.irq, and I will post the ouptput of vmstat -i

Thanks for the data. Looks like some progress is being made. What is the front panel designation of the NICs you are using? and for for what purpose? (which is LAN? WAN? etc). From the interrupt counts it looks as if only two NICs are in use since only two have non-zero interrupt counts.
correcting the tipo on the last line: INTA/irq -> INTA.irq, and I will post the ouptput of vmstat -i
Thanks. Not a good start in attention to details on my part. I'll correct the error in the original post.

Currently I'm only using fxp0(wan) and fxp1(lan), I'm testing the box :D
But I have tried to use the other port for the lan interface with the same result.Alex
-
Currently I'm only using fxp0(wan) and fxp1(lan), I'm testing the box
But isn't there a front panel designation: eth1? eth2? etc.
fxp1 and fxp2 are the only NICs with non-zero interrupt counts so I suspect you are really using fxp1 and fxp2 but that you have done a mental translation from ethx (x=1, 2, 3, 4) to fxpn (n=0, 1, 2, 3). Correct?
One of the earlier replies gave a mapping from the ethx to the fxpn but with no mention of how that was derived. I'm suspecting that mapping is not correct. I have vague memory of some Nokia IP? boxes where the electrical ordering of NICs on PCI buses didn't correspond to the front panel ordering but its over 4 years ago that I worked on the Nokia IPxxx boxes.
-
Sorry, you are right I made a mental mapping
On the front panel I have Eth1 to Eth4.
I have checked and I have the following correspondence:Eth1 : fxp0
Eth2 : fxp1
Eth3 : fxp2
Eth4 : fxp3In the welcome screen of pfsense I get the same information about the up links.
And for my tests I'm using Eth1(fxp0) and Eth2(fxp1) for the wan and lan interface.
Alex
-
I have checked and I have the following correspondence:
Eth1 : fxp0
Eth2 : fxp1
Eth3 : fxp2
Eth4 : fxp3How did you determine this mapping is correct rather than (say) eth1 <-> fxp3 … ?
In the welcome screen of pfsense I get the same information about the up links.
Do you mean pfSense reports fxp0 and fxp1 up? (I don't know how pfSense would know about eth1 and eth2).
Do you see the problem: you say you are using fxp0 and fxp1 but fxp1 and fxp2 are the NICs with non-zero interrupt counts. Maybe your translation from the front panel label to fxpn is not correct? Maybe you moved one or more cables after booting? Can you account for the anomaly?

Hello wallabybob
I will make my file /boot/loader.conf.local look like:
hw.pci0.2.3.INTA.irq=6 hw.pci0.2.4.INTA.irq=10 hw.pci0.2.5.INTA.irq=11 hw.pci0.2.6.INTA.irq=12With these settings I promised you to test, the irq10 storm is worse than ever and there was no connectivity on the NICs. I removed /boot/loader.conf.local and now, I can reboot and have connectivity. But the storm is still there. Up to now, I only use fxp0 (WAN) and fxp1 (LAN), just like Alex. We will have to try something different.

Hi wallabybob
I promised you:

The only ports I am using now are fxp0 (WAN) and fxp1 (LAN), just as Alex. If you want me to try something different, I am ready to do it.
Thanks in advance.
