      Sad to say but I have same error on the same config. Regardless of option "Reset all states if WAN IP Address changes" enabled or not after known sequence I get those pf_test: kif == NULL, if_xname and then Fatal trap 12 a bit later.

        @w0w did you try again after rebooting? I seen a page fault occur on my bare metal instance but not VM, but much earlier in the boot process. Second boot it doesn't occur.

        Not likely to fix the original error however.

          It was rebooted multiple times before I did test sequence to crash it ☺, so it is some bug. I'll wait for Netgate version, when it is out or if somebody else find something. It can be also related to ix driver, not sure, will test it also a bit later

            On the igb0 I have similar situation, but different message on 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
            built on Fri Mar 13. Instead of pf_test spam I have this one...

            kernel: igb0: TX(3) desc avail = 1024, pidx = 0

            Looks like it's this one
            https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239240

            rschell do you have the patch mentioned in the thread included in your firewall version?

              @w0w The patches mentioned in 239240 (MFC 356310) and have been incorporated. If its posted in 12-stable branch of pfsense/FreeBSD-src, as of the build date, its in there .

                I had that fatal trap 12: page fault message happen on a test machine with 2.5.

                I tested mb,drive,memory,switched cpu everything tested good.

                I finally swapped memory even though the previous mem passed memtest for 24 hrs
                and the machine has been running fine since.

                  I do not think it's memory, could be Intel card driver, I don't have any problem until I do known sequences on known configuration. Also 2.4.5 is not affected by this bug on the same hardware.

                    If it was the network card would it not mention that in the error?

                    It does mention what is not in memory (supervisor read data)

                    Then the result of that is the (panic: page fault).

                    I run dual wan PPPoE with Reset all states if WAN IP Address changes enabled
                    and get no error's running 2.5.0.a.20200313.1633 as of today on above system.
                    Previously in 2.5.0.a.20200312.something.

                    It has only been running for about 12 hrs. with 1 reboot.

                      My firewall is overall stable on 2.5.0, I can run it for a month until something triggers the fatal trap or "pf_test: kif == NULL", sometimes it crash on boot and 1 of 3 times crashing or/and this "pf_test: kif == NULL" message spamming, when there is the problem on the PPPoE ethernet port — for example ISP router is out of power or I have unplugged the cable or changed the link speed.
                      I repeat, I do not have any of the mentioned problems on 2.4.5 version, so I think it's software problem.

                        Hello all,

                        As was announced 2.5 to be soon mainstreamed, I jumped onto the dev branch.

                        15 minutes after successful upgrade net went down, I couldnt ping or load pfsense web.
                        Error streaming on screen without stop was

                        igb1: TX(2) desc avail = 1024, pidx = 0

                        Running 2.5.0.a.20200330.1049 (latest x64)
                        Potential Solution based on power settings posted here? Not sure how to issue these commands. (from terminal at firewall, thru web, ssh...???)

                        Bug report mentioned elsewhere here:
                        https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239240

                        Had been running stable until now and never had a single issue.
                        Only way to get the firewall working (tried ifconfig up down, bridge up down, reset web config, etc) was to reboot the firewall. Has been working for over 50 minutes now without issue...

                        Suggestions? Recommend I go back to stable?

                          I am waiting for 2.5.0 based on STABLE. Expected to be soon. I hope that it will be released before the end of the world. ☺

                            Good news is it hasnt failed on me again since the one time 15m after original upgrade.

                            So... scary start, but stable for nearly 24hours now.

                            Hopefully that release is SOON.

                              Don't know what exactly was merged/patched, whatever else, but I can not crash my system anymore with my test sequence. I'll check later what changes are made on github.

                                Hmm... looks like this thing came back, after I've configured CARP and started to play with PPPoE on secondary firewall and re-plugged main ethernet cable that cames from ISP (PPPoE).

                                  Got those topic messages on backup firewall also, when experimented with PPPoE (same link)

                                      I've played around a bit and the result is that 2.4.5-RELEASE is still not affected, and 2.5 is crashing not every time but mostly, when I issue 'killall mpd5' or even 'rc.linkup stop wan'
                                      The configuration is the same. PPPoE as WAN, DHCP as WAN2, no IPv6, only failover is configured. PPPoE as tier1 and DHCP as tier2.
                                      I don't think that unbound is the real cause of crash... just because I've tried to stop unbound service and repeat the sequence (multiple times disconnected and connected WAN port cable) and got another dump. crash00.txt

                                      https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234296 looks very similar.

                                          If it was marked fixed in 12.0-RELEASE then yes, that would be in 2.5.0. 2.5.0 snapshots are on 12.1-STABLE now, so well past that point.
