2.3 Lockup with no packages

mer · Apr 25, 2016, 7:06 AM

FYI, I have another piece of hardware that was suffering the problem much worse using igb interface.

I'd take cmb up on the offer of the kernel he built without the NETMAP option; it should have removed the NETMAP option completely from the kernel. The em and igb drivers should be from the same code base so it is possible they share a problem.

Firewall box with em NIC and modified kernel is up and running. It's seems to be routing traffic as normal. I should know by morning how it's holding up. In the past it has crashed during my remote back which moves a lot of data.

I will keep everyone posted. Again thank you all for your help.

13.5 hours and no crashes. I did have odd stuff in my system.log. Any ideas?

Well, that's good news on the modified kernel. Are 10.10.1.1 and 10.10.1.177 IPs in your network? If you ssh/console to the box, ls /usr/local/www are any of those files/directories present? Should they be?

Perforado · Apr 26, 2016, 1:56 PM

10.10.1.177 seems to be infected with some Malware i guess :o

SoloIT · Apr 26, 2016, 2:18 PM

10.10.1.1 is the firewall and 10.10.1.177 is client. I'm so tired of looking at the log files, I total glossed over the accessing IP. I'll look into it and see if there is any malware on the machine.

I did not look for all the files/folders, but the dozen or so I checked do not exist.

Thanks for the second set of eyes.

cmb · Apr 26, 2016, 6:12 PM

That 10.10.1.177 indeed looks to be compromised, or possibly running a vulnerability assessment tool but that list seems to match known malware. Something on that machine is scanning looking for common vulnerable pages.

SoloIT · Apr 26, 2016, 6:21 PM

Thanks I am looking into that client. It's used by a part time person, so it explains why I've not seen it before.

Good news, the patch is still holding up. No crashes. I'm planning to roll the patch to the other firewalls tonight.

This weekend I'll also change back to my other hardware platform for the one odd location using the igb NIC rather than then em that most of my firewalls use.

SoloIT · Apr 27, 2016, 11:21 AM

I did update all my other firewall's with the patch yesterday evening.
This morning, the first test box I had installed the patch on encountered the same watchdog error:

Above is the system.log from when it started. There is nothing before. Once it starts, this set of error messages just keeps repeating until I reset the firewall. Since it was the LAN port acting up, I could still ping the firewall from the WAN and establish an OpenVPN connection. Also, my IPSec tunnels remained running.

I was really hoping the patch fixed it the problem as it was running for over a day and typically locked up before then. Suggestions are appreciated.

mer · Apr 27, 2016, 11:31 AM

Anything happening at about that timeframe, backups, remote transfer of lots of data? One of the other users of the modified kernel reported a problem after awhile, during a transfer of large amount of data.

In all the other cases of you having an issue, was the WAN side still alive but the LAN side dead//stuck

SoloIT · Apr 27, 2016, 11:37 AM

Yes, a lot of data was being moved as a back to a remote site was in progress.

In the other cases, the port that locks up is random. I've had both LAN and WAN lock up. I don't see any pattern to which port locks.

mer · Apr 27, 2016, 11:44 AM

It may be a good datapoint for cmb, I'd suggest maybe getting the status and emailing it or a link as he asked another to do here. That'll give 2 datapoints.

I have emailed cmb the status file.

SoloIT · Apr 27, 2016, 2:47 PM

We've locked up 2 more times this morning under fairly heavy IPSec VPN load.

SoloIT · Apr 27, 2016, 8:37 PM

Had another lockup with something new in the system log. Among the Watchdog timeout: kernel: sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff80016aaa960: Listen queue overflow: 193 already in queue awaiting acceptance (1 occurrences)

Not sure if that helps identify the issue or not

mer · Apr 28, 2016, 11:17 AM

Well, it could be related, or maybe not. What that error message is saying is something is trying to create a connection, but the application handling those connections is backed up. It could be new connections are coming in faster than the app can handle or the app is not processing the connection (maybe something else running).

Having the same issues as described in this thread. Using 2x pfSense Netgate SG-2440 systems. Both updated to 2.3, both experienced the lockup issue.

They are using the igb nic's, 1 LAN, 1 WAN with an IPsec VPN between both locations.

Last lockup happened at ~4am this morning which should not have much traffic at that time.

System ran fairly well prior to upgrading from 2.2.6 - 2.3. Hopefully a fix is available soon, otherwise I'm going to have to revert back to 2.2.6.

Interesting. I think most/all folks having the same (or what appears to be the same) issue are all doing something with IPsec and em or igb interfaces

SoloIT · Apr 29, 2016, 3:22 PM

I've started rolling all mine back to 2.2.6. Though I assume the team is working on the issue, I've heard nothing from them in 2 days. I've asked for a status update.

know a safe source for 2.2.6? Don't think I downloaded it, just did the auto upgrade. Last version I have is 2.2.3, and I would rather get the last stable release (from a safe source).
