High CPU Usage and Delay Calling ifconfig -v ix0/ix1; Delays Dashboard Load
-
pfSense Plus 22.05
HP DL320e Gen8
Intel X540-T2Seems that the Dashboard calls ifconfig -v for each interface. For whatever reason, it seems to take a while on ix0 and ix1, but not bge0 nor bge1. Calling ifconfig -v on ix1.[vlan] doesn't result in a delay either. It prints output in the terminal and then sits there for a second spinning the CPU. Calling ifconfig without a verbose flag is quick.
-
So you can replicate that delay at the command line? On just one interface?
How long is the delay? Try for example:

The card in question is a 10Gtek Intel X540-T2:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HMGWOU8Is the card at fault here?
It prints out everything immediately but sits at the end for a second eating cycles:

Seems it gets stuck on:
1.408296106 ioctl(3,SIOCGI2C,0x235240) = 0 (0x0)I2C seems to be related to SFP detection.
Could have the FreeBSD driver inherited a Linux bug:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1274823The card in question only has two RJ-45 ports, no SFP.

https://github.com/opnsense/src/commit/938a0467e8cbf9e47629aff57e04250e7f6be251They fixed it a year ago in OPNsense. Is it fixed in pfSense Plus 23.01 and/or FreeBSD 14-Current?
Seems that it still tries to detect it 10 times:

It looks like they never upstreamed that fix so, yeah, I don't see it FreeBSD or pfSense.
However that NIC doesn't have SFP modules. I wouldn't expect it to apply there. I do see that here with NICs that are SFP though:

What delay do you actually see on the dashboard? Just 1s? 1s for each port?
-
How would I check that the card is reporting it's SFP capable?
The dashboard takes roughly 7 seconds to load/refresh. That's without the widgets that take longer. It also tends to keep a core busy as its constantly trying to update.

Hmm, odd. I don't expect it to hit that on that NIC.
Looks like it's 1s per NIC then, which I guess is expected. Not 10x 1s which would be..painful.I raised this internally though, I'll see what our developers think.

The firewall in question has TAC Pro support on it. Should we open a ticket for this?
-
You can do but TAC won't be able to tell you anything further until we hear back from the developers. If you do be sure to reference this thread.
I opened a bug to track this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13911

Thanks, will keep checking the bug tracker.

Looks like it may not be fixed anytime soon. We have moved from 22.05 to 23.01 and it's still happening. I compared the output of ifconfig with and without the verbose flag and found it to be the same for our NICs. Thus I made the following temporary patch to use with the System_Patches package. With this patch Dashboard is quick to load and no longer causes high CPU usage.

It likely wouldn't make any difference for a NIC that doesn't have a module inserted, which is where the problem exists.
Without that though you won't get any module info in the status page etc. for an interface that is linked with SFP.Steve

I have and dual-RJ45 X540 card (ix0/ix1) that also shows same kind of delay running ifconfig -v command
On the dual-SFP+ X710 card (ixl0/ixl1), the result prints instantly.X540 has cable plugged in the ix0 and X710 has an RJ45 SFP plugged&connected in the ixl0.
Second port on both cards is unplugged.[23.01-RELEASE][admin@shodan.phobos.home.arpa]/root: time ifconfig -v ix0 ix0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 description: WAN options=4e138bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWFILTER,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP> ether 48:df:37:68:54:08 inet6 fe80::4adf:37ff:fe68:5408%ix0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet [redacted] netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast [redacted] media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> 0.000u 1.314s 0:01.31 100.0% 170+206k 0+0io 0pf+0w [23.01-RELEASE][admin@shodan.phobos.home.arpa]/root: time ifconfig -v ix1 ix1: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=4e53fbb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP> ether 48:df:37:68:54:09 media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> 0.000u 1.291s 0:01.29 100.0% 167+203k 0+0io 0pf+0w [23.01-RELEASE][admin@shodan.phobos.home.arpa]/root: time ifconfig -v ixl0 ixl0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=4e100bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWFILTER,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP> ether 48:df:37:74:bb:40 inet6 [redacted] prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 1000BASE-T (RJ45) vendor: DELTA PN: LCP-1250RJ3SR-HV SN: CN8BKK22X0 DATE: 2018-12-07 0.000u 0.045s 0:00.04 100.0% 198+240k 0+0io 0pf+0w [23.01-RELEASE][admin@shodan.phobos.home.arpa]/root: time ifconfig -v ixl1 ixl1: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=4e507bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP> ether 48:df:37:74:bb:48 media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> 0.000u 0.006s 0:00.00 0.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w [23.01-RELEASE][admin@shodan.phobos.home.arpa]/root: -
We do not have a module capable card so it's not an issue at least for us.
If the underlying delay and CPU usage with module detection in the driver cannot be fixed could Netgate add a system tunable to turn off module detection on the dashboard?
-
Better to add comments to the bug so all developers can see them.
