Description Pol Hallen 2007-09-09 04:00:41 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: none
Distribution: debian testing
Hardware Environment: nVidia Corporation MCP51
Software Environment: Debian testing
Problem Description: when I stress my network (a lot of ftp transfers or other type of transfers) my network connection autoreset it-self.

Please, see 8700 bug report.

My dmesg after the auto-reset:

Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2007-09-09 05:32:40 UTC
So that's the third type of NIC you've used on that motherboard, yes?

If so, it would appear to be some infrequently-occurring interrupt lossage.

Over in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8700 Francois said
"Problem is said to happen from 2.6.19-1.2895 (and supposely not in
2.6.18-1.2798)".   Has anyone confrimed that any earlier kernel was OK?
If so, whcih version?

> So that's the third type of NIC you've used on that motherboard, yes?
There's an integrated network card, and I added a pci network card (eth2)

Because also with windows the integrated network card don't run. The system doesn't see it. Like the ethernet doesn't exist.

I remember that old version's kernel (2.6.18 and later) had the problem described in 8700 bug.

But with 2.6.22.5 kernel the problem is "only" autoreset network, so, I lost the transfers, I restart the network and my system run ok.

Comment 3 Pol Hallen 2007-09-11 04:23:47 UTC
Might be a temporary solution if I set a traffic shape on my system, so I set
(example) 2Mb/s on ethernet card?

Thanks :-)

Pol
Comment 4 Francois Cartegnie 2007-09-11 04:44:29 UTC
The driver was working OK on 2.6.17 (mandriva release so could have patchs ?)
The only problem was a "Too many interrupts (6)" showing many times, but the card was not stopping.
Comment 5 Pol Hallen 2007-09-11 04:54:54 UTC
Ok :-)

I'll try 2.6.17

But the problem is that I must reload ethernet interfaces after the problem :-(

eth2: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
[...]

because my ethernet went down.
Comment 6 Pol Hallen 2007-09-14 05:36:35 UTC
I don't understand :-(

I've the same problem (resetting the Tx ring pointer) also without forcedeth module!

If isn't forcedeth the problem, where can I probe?

I also tried with several network card (realtek, intel, etc.) but I've the same problem :-/

Is it a possible bug in amd74xx module?

Can U help me please?

Thanks
Pol
Comment 7 Andrew Morton 2007-09-14 13:11:56 UTC
don't know, sorry.  Maybe the machine has a bad power supply, and
that is affecting the MAC hardware on both the nvidia and 3c59x
interfaces?
Comment 8 Pol Hallen 2007-09-14 13:24:15 UTC
I'm out of myself :-)

I connected to my server the ieee1394 (over ethernet) and my system is ok! ;-) 
I tried for many hours same tranfers!

But I need the network card to run vmware (because vmware use the network to communicate with the same hard disk).

When the system crash (because sometime the network reset itself - sometime the monitors power down and mouse+keyboard doesn't run) the ieee1394 (from other hosts) ping but the network interface doesn't ping :-|

What I can do is reset my system :-((

What I'll do?!

Thanks!

(Using winXP it's all ok)

Any luck with this patch ?
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git;a=commit;h=108c55dda1bd750b87b5fccc9cd4658222cf2dc3

PS: Pol hallen: you don't need NIC card for VMware. Just set up a bridge interface.
Comment 10 Pol Hallen 2007-09-18 06:47:48 UTC
A thing: is forcedeth driver only a network driver? Or also chipset driver?

Because I turned off my integrated nvidia network card, and I using another (pci) network card.

Thanks!

Comment 11 Pol Hallen 2007-09-23 08:22:23 UTC
Excuse me if I insist: my problem happens also with firewire card (over tcp).

I think that the problem isn't in forcedeth.c driver but into the nvidia chipset.

I should change my motherboard? (how I'll buy? core duo 2)

I need help because this is mine main computer.

Thanks.

In you hardware description i saw: Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]

If you are using this type of network card, check my patch for increse RING BUFFER size at : http://linux.mantech.ro/3c59x.html

This trick may be useful for other network cards. I run a router with 5 3COM 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclon] network cards for more that 1 week with those RING Buffers and works perfectly. Rarely apears some overruns packets, on a router with high load up to 80-90Mbit upload or download (~140-150Mbit total in full duplex)
Comment 13 Thomas Gleixner 2008-09-05 05:06:34 UTC
Pol,

is this still a problem with recent kernel versions ?

I'm sorry :-|
Thanks
