[v2.3 & v2.4] Kernel crash with Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

Yeah! I am not alone!

Is your network architecture partially similar to mine? Do you have a lot of users?

If your workaround is to downgrade to 2.2 it is a lead for some debugging and a possible fix…

I see bug #4689 (Panic/Crash "sbflush_internal: cc 4294967166 || mb 0 || mbcnt 0") is similar but is marked as resolved for 2.3…
Original bug report on FreeBSD bug tracker is still open and someone reported it ran into the issue it a month ago.

I don't see any options you must change in BIOS. All your posted options are OK. Just for testing purpose, enable PowerD and set it to maximum perfomance. Make sure you do not have polling enabled and enable all setting below (see picture).
If it does not help then install 2.2.x version.

I had "Hardware Checksum Offloading" unchecked and both "Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading" & "Hardware Large Receive Offloading" checked.

I'll check "Hardware Checksum Offloading" and set PowerD to maximum…

Update:
I tested OPNsense (v16.7.8 ) under the same load and configuration and it works (3 days now)…
In the same time, the other server (on pfSense 2.4.0) which is up but not used (no traffic towards him) did not crashed either: indicates crashes are load/traffic related.

Hope this helps to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.

I think you must create bug report on redmine. The crashes I have had on different hardware also happened under heavy traffic. It could be driver related or NIC hardware revision/firmware.

Any news?

My car won't start, I heard your's doesn't, I bet it's the same reason.

I'd recommend starting your own threads so people can step you through stuff to check without causing massive confusion about who is talking about what.

I am fighting this same issue, any updates on this issue. I am running a super micro server as well. it seems a lot of people are seeing the trap 12 when using the intel igb driver specifically?

I have the same problem with 2.5.2.

problem appears when i migrate frome 2.4 to 2.5

This is almost certainly not the same issue. Many, many things have changed since 2016!

Please open a new thread with the actual crash report you're seeing.
