Kernel Panic
-
I have 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Fri Dec 31 14:08:23 EST 2010. I have been having problems with this firewall running on a old dell P4 computer. It has been running great, until I login via openvpn and try to remote desktop a computer. The firewall then kernel panics with:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address= 0x0 fault code= supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer= 0x20:0x0 stack pointer = 0x28:0xcca52bbc frame pointer = 0x28:0xcca52bc8 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process= 0 (em0 taskq) trap number= 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 0 Uptime: 16h28m26s Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavailable. Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Rebooting...The firewall has 9 VLANs all trunked over one physical lan port. I run squid with lightsquid for logging on all VLAN interfaces. I am running captive portal too.
I get the same problem at home with my Soekris net5501-70. There I have only LAN, WRLS (for guest access), DMZ, and am running the same utilities (squid, lightsquid, nut, captive portal). -
Same here… has there been a bug opened? Is there already a fix?
-
I would love for a problem to be in the fix list, but I don't even know exactly what the cause is. I would appreciate some help from one of the administrators to help out in the debug process.

As a start, you can install the developer kernel.
After the panic type "bt" at the debugger console and capture that info as well as the panic.
Directions for installing the developer kernel are at the following link

Hi Guys,
Here I have the same problem when I active the Squid…
I´m testing since version: pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20101228-0454.iso.gz to pfSense-2.0-BETA5-20110101-1659.iso.gz.
If I don´t use Squid the problem doesn´t hapen... this was done in a lab, about ten users were use to test.
We need open a Bug to report this...
Luiz Ferreira.

Since those snapshots are nearly a week old, before you report any problem, make sure it can be reproduced on the most current snapshot available.
And if you get a panic, we need the full text of the panic (even a picture of the screen is OK) and if possible, install a debug kernel (as PJ2 mentioned) and get a backtrace.
Be careful with posting or reporting bugs to an existing thread or ticket about panics, too, since they could be unrelated unless the circumstances and panic message are identical.
-
The panic shows still after a most recent update [2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Wed Jan 5 03:16:13 EST 2011]. Same panic as above.
If it helps out any, I am running 2008 r2 and connecting using a win7 client. I noticed the panic happens after the kerbros handshake, when it is "initiating remote connection"EDIT: I tried do load the developer kernel on my Soekris board and it didn't work, using the above link and instructions. It actually crashed the system and wouldn't boot. I will try it on the p4 later today, hopefully I won't have the same outcome.
EDIT EDIT: This is a copy of this afternoons crash from my home system.
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address= 0x0 fault code= supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer= 0x20:0x0 stack pointer = 0x28:0xd5341bf4 frame pointer = 0x28:0xd5341c28 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process= 11 (irq5: vr1) trap number= 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 0 Uptime: 1d19h33m12s Cannot dump.

I am using squid in transparency mode. I haven't tried disabling squid.
-
Is anyone else able to get the panic logged? I can't get the developer setup on either one of the firewalls. I can't afford the downtime.
-
I had a thread started on this here from dec 13, but noticed this one
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31031.msg163019.html#msg163019i just posted this pic on my thread.
EDIT: If this helps, i have mutiple vlans on em1 on this box. A few of the other firewalls with the problem, no vlans on the interface.
-
Here is a screen shoot of the debug in the dev kernel. Can not get to the console at the moment for any more info
-
I have exactly the same kernel crashes in FreeBSD7 and 8. To me, it seems to be related to VLAN tags and NICs.

Looks like it may be in the Intel driver… fun.
-
so, is it something you guys can fix or is it something with freebsd?
-
Hopefully it's fixable, though lem is legacy em, so it's some rather old/early em chipsets. Might explain why so few people have hit it.
-
If it is an intel problem, then why would I be recieving the same problem on my soekris net5501-70 board? that uses a VIA VT6105M chip.
-
Without a backtrace from there it's impossible to say.

where do you see it is an old legacy nic/driver? (not questioning, just Curious) :)
just an fyi, had no problem with oct snaps.Thanks for your help

Hmm - that line looks similar to the panic I get when captive portal is enabled on my box.

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,29839.60.htmlIs there anything we can do to help besides posting back traces?
-
I just spent a bit of time on the phone with someone who hit this. It does seem to be related to OpenVPN somehow (or the kind of traffic that is seen more often with OpenVPN I suppose). Once we had the developer kernel on it stayed up for quite a while until we had someone connect with OpenVPN and generate some traffic.
-
A patch was just committed by ermal that might be a potential fix for this, or at least change the behavior somewhat. Give the next snapshot a try.
-
Just as a side note I was getting a kernal panic with the PPPOA interface being selected to WAN rather than rl1. Not sure if that is due to incorrect config but if so might be worth removing to save people the hassle.
-
Still getting the panic, I don't think the commit happened on the most recent snap.

It did happen. I manually restarted the builders after the patch went in. So apparently it still isn't quite right.
-
Could someone who can readily reproduce this panic give this custom firmware build a try?
http://cvs.pfsense.org/~jimp/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA5-i386-20110114-2041.tgz
It was built without a patch that does the extra mbuf operations that may be triggering the panic.

Out of curiosity, what type of network cards do you have in that box? Is it rl and em both? Or just em? or just rl? Or something else?
-
one em network (gig embedded on the board of an old dell p4). All network traffic is VLAN'd on that one interface.
-
OK, just checking… It looks odd to me that the backtrace references ed_probe_RTL80x9 which is a really old realtek chip, but it may just be something weird that I don't know at that level in the kernel/network stack.
We have arranged serial console access with someone who has been able to reproduce the panic so hopefully we'll have a lead on a fix early next week.

I suspect ed_probe_RTL80x9 is merely the closest lower value global symbol but its too far away to warrant printing the PC as symbol+offset. If that is the case you shouldn't take too much notice of the ed_probe_RTL80x9.

JimP, is there anything I can do to help out?
-
Not that I'm aware of. If the mbuf tag patch isn't the cause, it almost has to be the recent e1000 driver update (em, igb, etc).
-
Someone else had seen that once but so far we've been unable to replicate it so the real cause can be tracked down.
It seemed to be something in the configuration, though.
-
I am afraid to update since I haven't heard anything back. Is it still crashing or has it been fixed?
-
Nothing has changed with the drivers, but there are plenty of other things that have been fixed, it may be worth trying.
-
How can I get the logs (system.log is flushed every boot ?) so I can help targeting the problem ?
I have 4 NICs (5 if), all Intel em, both PCI NIC or MB integrated NIC.
The computer just freezes, no reboot.I have nmap and bandwithd installed. I'm using outboud Multi Wan, DHCP server, no VLAN, no traffic shaper, no VPN.
All was running good with an old snapshot. Freezes started after an upgrade a week ago. I currently have the lastest snapshot installed.
The freezes are random, sometimes pfSense runs some minutes, sometimes some hours.Any FTP transfert aborts with an error (There were problems a week or so with passive FTP, but they were connection problems, here transferts are aborted).
I think this can be linked to the problem if a buffer in the driver is the problem. -

2.0-BETA5 (amd64)
built on Wed Jan 12 18:01:47 EST 2011I just experienced my first kernel panic last night after more than 8 days uptime. I'm using a SM X7SPA-H board with only the onboard Intel GBE (Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet). I'm not using openvpn, but both NICs have multiple vlans on them and deal only in tagged traffic.
Is there a reasonable chance that updating to the latest snap will resolve this? I don't know that I can reproduce this panic intentionally, as it hasn't happened before and I wasn't doing anything interesting when it happened. I do have clients, but the panic happened at my lowest traffic period of the day.
