      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?

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

          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.

            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.

              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.

                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.

                  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

                    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.

                      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.

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

                            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)

                              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).

                              Links to a couple of old threads that have good info:

                                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

                                    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).

                                            I considered opening a new topic as I am not sure my problem has the same causes, but finally decided to post here based on the same similarities noticed:

                                            • had the same "Listen queue overflow" error
                                            • using intel drivers (igb)
                                            • using ipsec
                                            • having high CPU usage

                                            The one thing I did not had yet was a complete lockup. Packet forwarding and routing kept working, but squid and squidguard weren't (the only two packages I have installed), or better they were running but failed to deliver the webpages almost always.

                                            If it was wrong posting here, please tell me and I'll start a new thread.

                                            My setup is a redundant 2 pfsense boxes with 2 WAN and 2 LAN with the following hardware:
                                            SuperMicro SYS-5018A-FTN4 with

                                            2x SO-4GB-1600E (4GB 1600MHz DDR3, ECC, SO DIMM)
                                            2x Kingston SSD 60GB (GEOM mirror)

                                            Both were running 2.2.6 until about a couple of weeks ago. I upgraded the secondary to 2.3 and disabled carp on the master.

                                            After 2 or 3 days, I received complaints from the users that they were not able to browse the internet.
                                            I logged in the web configurator and saw the following in system.log:

                                            sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff8010cd72dc8: Listen queue overflow: 193 already in queue awaiting acceptance (97 occurrences)
                                            

                                            At the time I switched to the master and rebooted the secondary. Then proceeded to do a complete xml backup without the packages, a clean install of 2.3, and a config restore.

                                            I then again switched carp off on the primary, and kept monitoring the secondary for problems. Yesterday, after 8 days without any problem I was about to upgrade the primary to 2.3. Fortunately I hadn't the time to get it done, because today I again noticed problems with browsing the internet.

                                            Logging in the pfsense web page took a while, and this time I did not see any problem reported in system.log. Its probably worth mentioning that after the reinstall I had added

                                            kern.ipc.soacceptqueue = 1024
                                            

                                            to system tunables.

                                            Running top I saw a load average of 5+, when the usual is <1.

                                            Noticed some ipsec tunnels were down (maybe 10~20). I have about 70 ipsec configured.

                                            I enabled carp on the primary, but this time I did not reboot the secondary. I have spent the last hours trying to find out what is wrong. The following is information from now, about 8+ hours of the time I noticed the problem and switched traffic to the other machine:

                                            I think what I am seeing is related to a problem with igb5 and irq303 placing CPU1 under 100% interrupt load. What I don't know is why, and if it is something with the gib drivers or with freebsd.

                                            I stopped and started all the services this box is running, and removed the cable from the lan port in question, but that CPU1 100% interrupt load continues.

                                            I also think that this problem could go further back, but maybe it was not that evident. In 2.2.6 I had to reboot pfsense every 5 days or so to get ipsec back running. It would start being unable to connect one of the tunnels, then a few hours/day another, and so on. Usually when I noticed this there was about 3 to 6 tunnels down, and restarting the ipsec service didn't solved it.
                                            I saw reports of this in the forum, but no solution.

                                            Googling I found https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2014-June/079005.html which is very similar, but not sure it is the same problem.

                                            I haven't rebooted the secondary yet, so I can run more tests if needed, but I have little knowledge of freebsd.

                                            Any thoughts or suggestions anyone ?
