pfSense Active CARP Member Crashed: aesni_process -> crypto_dispatch ...

This has happened again, still on 2.4.4-p3:

That's the third time, 19 days since the last crash.
We have started rolling 2.4.5 out across our sites and dare say this firewall will be upgraded to 2.4.5 before it crashes again.

Will advise whether the upgrade resolves the problem.

monotypeTattoo

We upgraded to 2.4.5 on Monday (2020-05-04).
Tonight the primary firewall crashed again tonight. Stack trace looks very similar from line 7 onwards.

We are going to turn off AES-NI acceleration later on tonight.

We turned off AES-NI but that capped IpSec VPN traffic to 8 Mb/s (seemed very drastic?)
We've turned AES-NI back on.

We've got physically identical firewalls ready to go in at one of our other sites. Once we have those in situ, we will look at firmware upgrades and tweaking AES ciphers.

monotypeTattoo

Quick update, we experienced an identical crash on 2020-05-08.
Will keep apprised for developments as we hopefully, in the coming weeks, roll out firmware upgrades.

jimp

Under VPN > IPsec, Advanced settings tab, do you have Asynchronous Cryptography checked? If so, try unchecking it.

monotypeTattoo

Hi Jimp,

We don't have the asynchronous cryptography option checked.

Thank you.

monotypeTattoo

Another crash late last night.
Different stack trace this time.

We haven't made any changes as yet as we have been waiting for our physically identical firewalls at our other site get some bedding in time.

I'm not sure whether this will help in shining any light on the issue, but I've collated the relevant contents of msgbuf.txt from each crash:

We are going to do some benchmarking with OpenVPN today and see if we can use it instead of ipSec for a couple of weeks. We're also discussing swapping the master/stand-by firewalls around, in order to rule-in/rule-out are hardware problem.

mazafak

we are seeing the same exact problem. panics/reboots every 5-7 days.
setup: 2.4.4-p3, CARP, VLANs, site-to-site Ipsec(aesni in use). hardware was fully replaced to eliminate HW related problems.

Hello mazafak,

What hardware are you using?
When you replaced the hardware, was it a like for like replacement or did you change the specification in any way?

Thanks
M

Probably also worth mentioning, we are using two Intel I350 Quad Port 1GbE network cards in each of our pfSense boxes.

mazafak

first it was a dell R430 with Intel X520 10gbe card (ix)
now it is a supermicro with Intel X710 10gbe card (ixl)

configuration was moved from the first host to the next. problem with crashes and reboots stayed.
here is a new one from 5/28

Hi Mazafak,

Any chance that you could let us know what model CPUs/chipsets you have reproduced the issue with?
Also the ciphers/hash algorithms used?

Thank you.

I've made a mistake in the initial post. We are using AES256-GCM, not AES256-CBC.

mazafak

I took ipsec settings from:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/scaling.html (scroll down to "Optimal Encryption Settings")

the supermicro mb is X11SDV-8C-TP8F, that's the one having crashes similar to the dell R430.

what is interesting is that on the other side of the ipsec tunnel we have another pfsense running on Super Micro XG-1537. it doesn't have VLAN/LACP setup and it has been rock solid for over a year.

so, it could be the VLAN code that's crashing for me. I will attempt upgrading to 2.4.5-p1 once it is available to see if it is any better.

Thank you Mazafak.

We had another crash last night:

We had very similar crashes on different pfSense 2.4.4 machines along with kernel: [zone: pf frag entries] PF frag entries limit reached messages in logs.

Crashes are gone after Enable MSS clamping on VPN traffic was enabled in IPsec advanced settings. Maybe its your case too ?

@astabing said in pfSense Active CARP Member Crashed: aesni_process -> crypto_dispatch ...:

We've never seen kernel: [zone: pf frag entries] PF frag entries limit reached and we enabled MSS clamping last week to resolve an IPSec throughput issue. We had another crash within 48 hours of making that change, so it didn't resolve it.

We've raised a FreeBSD Bugzilla report: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246951.

Thanks

Looks like this may be fixed:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246951#c16

mazafak

opened https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10745
so that we know when this gets applied to pfsense and when we can go back to IPSec.
