Description Regis Damongeot 2006-11-18 01:28:07 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: none, I always had this 
problem with the sky2 driver
Distribution: Slamd64
Hardware Environment: Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 19)
Software Environment:
Problem Description:
When there's is a lot of transfer activity on the card, after some time (~ 
1-2days) I get theses errors:
-in syslog:
Nov 15 07:57:35 regis kernel: sky2 eth0: tx timeout
-in "message" log file:
Nov 15 07:57:35 regis kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Nov 15 07:57:35 regis kernel: sky2 hardware hung? flushing

And the kernel seems to be amost crashed. Almost because the mouse cursor can 
move but I can't do anything with the keyboard and even if I try to quit X with 
the mouse it doesnt work. Only a hard reset (reboot) works.
Last kernels seems to be better with this issue than before, one night with 
this card working and sky2 driver and the kernel was crashed (2.6.18 and 
before).

Steps to reproduce: use the card to download with bittorrent for 2days with 
100kB/s traffic.
Comment 1 Jerome Venturi 2006-11-25 18:15:46 UTC
Hi,

Kernel version : 2.6.19-rc6
Distribution: Gentoo 2006.1
Hardware Environment : Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 20)


I've got exactly the same problem as described
I'm not downloading throught bittorent but throught Newsgroups
Comment 2 Jerome Venturi 2006-11-25 19:37:10 UTC
Just freeze :s
Here is a log from syslog-ng :

Nov 26 04:24:21 Gentoo-LiNuX sky2 eth1: tx timeout
Nov 26 04:24:21 Gentoo-LiNuX sky2 eth1: transmit ring 278 .. 255 report=278 done=278
Nov 26 04:24:21 Gentoo-LiNuX sky2 hardware hung? flushing

Then can't do anything elese .. no keyboard, no mouse, no thing --> hard reset
Comment 3 egon2003 2006-11-27 09:11:02 UTC
Kernel 2.6.19-rc6
Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 19)
Distribution: Gentoo

I also get hangs pretty often. Usually within the hour when running bitorrent.
My internetconnection is 10MB full duplex.
From the log:

Please reproduce the problem without the proprietary nvidia module.
If it can not be reproduced then please close.
Comment 13 egon2003 2006-11-29 09:40:25 UTC
I have removed the proprietary nvidia module and I have the same problem.
Systemcrash after about an hour of running bittorrent with heavy traffic.
Comment 14 egon2003 2006-11-29 12:49:28 UTC
oops, i still had the module loaded, but i wanst using it. Trying without it now...

Yes, without the nvidia module, the problem is still here

Another step to reproduce (a bit harder) :

Download throught newsgroup on eth0 and burn an dvd throught eth1 (cifs) then
freeze ...
Both eth0 and eth1 are using sky2 driver

I have for the last 4 days been using a add in nic with a realtek 8139 chip.
I have not had one hang during this time, bittorrent has been running when the
computer has been running.
Comment 20 Stephen Hemminger 2007-02-05 09:39:04 UTC
Transmit flow control seems to cause hardware problem.
I can reproduce a hang with Tx flow control, but if I turn off flow
control, it won't hang (at least after 48hrs its okay)....

I sent a patch to disable flow control by default.
Comment 21 Stephen Hemminger 2007-02-05 09:42:10 UTC
Created attachment 10292 [details]
turn flow control off
Comment 22 egon2003 2007-02-06 11:53:31 UTC
Compiled 2.6.20-gentoo with the patch below. I still get hangs.
From the log below (there are lots more of the BUG: soft lockup)

Comment 23 Regis Damongeot 2007-02-10 01:45:19 UTC
It still crash for me too with 2.6.20 and flow control off.

syslog:
Feb 10 01:16:42 regis kernel: sky2 eth0: tx timeout

/var/log/message:
Feb 10 01:16:42 regis kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Feb 10 01:16:42 regis kernel: sky2 hardware hung? flushing

After that, keyboard is useless, mouse works but all app seems to crash (can't 
leave X either, kde crash when leaving X and all is frozen then).

Comment 25 Bjoern Olausson 2007-02-18 12:47:49 UTC
Same problem here.

Even on minimal load my machine hangs... mouse still works but ha hardreset is 
required.

Currently I am testing the workaround mentioned here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6839#c12
(ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off rx on tx on)

Some infos I can contribute:

I got a few of these softlocks I actually dont know if they belong to the sky2 
problem. When I got these softlocks the pc freezes (mouse works) but after a 
minute or so the system is responsible again.

Comment 27 Stephen Hemminger 2007-02-23 13:36:47 UTC
Update that fixes this problem is now in 2.6.21-rc1 and submitted to 2.6.20
stable series
Comment 28 egon2003 2007-03-10 04:14:02 UTC
Created attachment 10680 [details]
errorlog from 2.6.20.2

I still get this error with 2.6.20.2. No hang but the network goes down.
Comment 29 Peter Kerwien 2007-03-10 04:22:18 UTC
Maybe similar problem that I experienced:

It stills crash with 2.6.20.2 for me too.

Comment 31 Stephen Hemminger 2007-03-13 11:11:45 UTC
A couple of questions:

1. Are you using hardware flow control (it is on by default), if so what kind
   of switch/hub are you connected to? what are the pause statistics?
         ethtool -S eth0

2. What chip version?
        dmesg | grep sky2


Comment 32 Regis Damongeot 2007-03-13 11:36:47 UTC
1) If hardware flow control is activated by default then I use it (but you have 
posted previously a patch disabling flow control and the bug was still 
present).
I use a netgear gigabit switch (GS605).

I am using hardware flowcontrol if its on by default.
The switch I am using is a Netgear GS108.


ethtool -S eth0

Comment 35 Henrik Olsson 2007-03-17 17:13:14 UTC
I have the same problem when using the sky2 driver, though with the latest .21
rc it seems to be able to fix itself. It's annoying when streaming things though :)

Motherboard is ASUS P5H DH Deluxe.

Seems pretty reproducible if i upload large amounts of data. Can give shell if
needed to help solve this issue.
Comment 36 Stephen Hemminger 2007-03-19 11:28:08 UTC
I can do upload's all weekend with same motherboard.

What is the kernel version you are using?

What are the statistics (ethtool -S eth0)?

What kind of switch?

Just want to add: still happens on 2.6.21.1. 3 times today.

syslog says:

And here it did not come back after getting this in the logs:

May  6 01:22:13 burner kernel: sky2 mv0: tx timeout

May  6 01:22:16 burner kernel: sky2 mv0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex,
flow control both

At this point the network is plain dead. Not pingable from outside, ifconfig mv0
down and up does not change anything. Using another (until now unused) NIC
(rl8169) works immediately, so it's 'only' the sky2 driver.

Here's a script which I run (nohup script &> /dev/null &) to avoid losing a

I have just done some testing with 2.6.22-rc4 on one of the machines I have with
sky2 NICs.

This one has an Asus P5W DH motherboard with two of these NICs integrated.

What I did was running these two commands simultaneously:
$ ssh 192.168.1.1 "cat /dev/urandom" >/dev/null
and 
$ cat /dev/urandom | ssh 192.168.1.1 "cat >/dev/null"

And sure enough, pretty soon (once after about an hour, once after about 20
minutes) it stopped working.

The ping I had running looked like this:
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=786 ttl=64 time=0.225 ms

But nothing new appeared in dmesg.

Stopping all the above commands did not make it recover, only unloading and
reloading the sky2 module helped.
Comment 44 Stephen Hemminger 2007-06-06 09:08:28 UTC
The last test showed you have a different problem.
You ran out of memory on the system. Sorry, that isn't a driver problem.
Comment 45 Artem S. Tashkinov 2007-06-06 10:18:44 UTC
I cannot agree with comment 44, because it was said earlier:

> Stopping all the above commands did not make it recover, only unloading and

I still wonder if this bug is so easily triggerable and reproducible, why the
patch is still missing?
Comment 46 H 2007-06-06 11:31:32 UTC
I have to agree that it MAY be a different problem than what I have observed
otherwise (at those times getting the "hw csum" errors in dmesg).

I don't however understand why running those commands would cause the machine to
run out of memory. (It's not a machine with low memory, it has 2 GB, so it's not
right on the edge to start with.)

I personally think the reason why it ran out of buffer space was because the
sky2 driver stopped working properly. (The memory problem being an effect, not
the cause.)


The problem I mentioned above only happens when using the onboard sky2 rather
than the e1000 PCI card that I normally use (to avoid the sky2 driver problems).
Comment 47 H 2007-06-07 05:23:59 UTC
FWIW, the current sk98lin driver version from Marvell (v10.0.5.3) with kernel
2.6.21.3 seems to be a working setup with the above mentioned card.

(Their driver does not seem to compile out of the box with 2.6.22-rc4, which is
why I switched kernel versions to get a quick test done with that.)

I don't know if that can be of any use for tracking down the issues. (It implies
that the hardware is ok, if nothing else.)

I have been running some tests with 2.6.22-rc6 + the patch above (id=11880) on one of my machines and have yet to get sky2 to stop working the way it previously did.

I'll need some further testing to be sure, but the initial results seem promising.
Comment 50 H 2007-06-27 12:42:25 UTC
I, unfortunately have to retract my previous statement. Just minutes after posting that, I got the same kind of behavior as before, where sky2 stopped working, leaving rmmod sky2, modprobe sky2 as the only way to get it working again.

missed IRQ workaround

This patch uses existing idle timeout to poll for list IRQ's. It works around all known stress test failures.
Comment 52 H 2007-07-13 05:13:35 UTC
Great, Stephen!

It makes sense too, as 2.6.16 was the last working version (at least for me).

Will you send this patch to the stable team?
