Description kernelbugs 2007-08-28 05:36:50 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: I think this may have appeared when I switched from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.18.8. I was originally using suspend2 but switched to mainline swsusp to determine whether the problem occurred with it.

Problem Description:

The kernel reports an Oops in the tulip driver while hibernating, but not every time. (It occurs perhaps 30% to 50% of the time.) The system hangs, caps lock and scroll lock flash, and the computer has to be powered off by holding down the power button.

The original bug report (before reproducing the problem with swsusp) is on the Suspend2 bugzilla at: http://bugzilla.suspend2.net/show_bug.cgi?id=294

I am using the hibernate shell script to suspend the system. I will attach a photo of the Oops report from 2.6.22.5 to this bug, but there are several additional ones from older kernels on the original bug page.

Speculation: The network card is on a shared interrupt with the USB controller, so it may be receiving unexpected interrupts generated by USB.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Try suspending to disk.

2. Experience kernel Oops (but not every time).

Here is an Oops report from kernel 2.6.21.1 that I sent in a private mail concerning the bug:
Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 4144113840505 ns)

Comment 2 Andrew Morton 2007-08-28 20:13:27 UTC
that's a tulip bug, not a power-management bug.  I updated the report appropriately, thanks.
Comment 3 Grant Grundler 2007-08-30 09:56:43 UTC
Yeah, I agree with akpm that is most likely a tulip driver bug. I've several race conditions with interrupts and shutdown in the past. I'm not surprised there might be similar races in swsusp code path.

I need a few more bits of info:
1) Console output (e.g. dmesg) after booting 2.6.22.5 (please attach)
2) tulip driver CONFIG options (e.g. "fgrep TULIP /boot/config-2.6.22.5" output)

thanks,

dmesg output after boot (kernel 2.6.22.5)

A couple lines of "vortex: IRQ fifo error" appear at the end immediately after login, presumably when the mixer is initialized by KDE.

I will attach the entire config file in case other parts prove relevant.

Ok - so using IO Port space and NAPI isn't enabled...hrm.
I'll stare at the code a bit and see where there might be races.

No problem. I don't mind. Attachments are sometime better (for long output like lspci) but I'm happy to get the info in the bug report.

Comment 9 kernelbugs 2007-09-28 08:01:09 UTC
Still broken in 2.6.22.9. I haven't tried any of the 2.6.23 rcs to see if they randomly fix or hide the bug. I have no idea what's going on on the "developing a fix" side of things.

Comment 10 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-09-28 08:08:46 UTC
I'm not sure if we know what exactly the problem is.

In case we don't, it's better to try the newest kernel and check if the bug is gone, because it might be fixed as a result of seemingly unrelated changes.  This often is the case with suspend bugs.
Comment 11 Grant Grundler 2007-09-30 00:49:57 UTC
Apologies for dropping off the scene for a bit.

I've looked at the tulip code and didn't see anything obvious. But I'm not familiar with the calling path of the suspend and resume events. I'll take another quick look tonight and more later this week.

I built a 2.6.22.9 kernel on my Debian "testing" machine and then ran "objdump -rD tulip.ko" to see what is in tulip_interrupt(). But "tulip_interrupt+0x29b" doesn't look like a reasonable offset for my build:
     97c:       89 e9                   mov    %ebp,%ecx
     97e:       c1 e9 02                shr    $0x2,%ecx
     981:       8b b0 8c 00 00 00       mov    0x8c(%eax),%esi
     987:       f3 a5                   rep movsl %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi)
     989:       89 e9                   mov    %ebp,%ecx
     98b:       83 e1 03                and    $0x3,%ecx
     98e:       74 02                   je     992 <tulip_interrupt+0x2a9>
     990:       f3 a4                   rep movsb %ds:(%esi),%es:(%edi)

Hex math (tulip_interrupt starts at 0x6e9):
6E9+29B = 984

Can you "objdump -rD" the tulip.ko (or interrupt.o if you have that) which crashed?
I need to know the EIP and objdump output for the file. Please send me the objdump output as an attachment directly.

My guess is 0x8c is the offset for the "skb" (based on reviewing code in tulip_refill_rx which also uses 0x8c offset). So it sounds like skb is deallocated but then we get an interrupt which wants to derefence that skb.
Again, a typical race in "driver shutdown" sequence.

The 29B offset was from kernel 2.6.21.1 and may not even have been right; the photo I just attached has the dump from 2.6.22.9. (I can transcribe it if needed.)

The EIP in the photo says "EIP is tulip_interrupt+0x2b4/0xc27 [tulip]".

I can attach the objdump for tulip.ko too, if you want.
Comment 15 kernelbugs 2007-10-14 06:18:28 UTC
This crash still occurs in 2.6.23; following is most of the oops dump (I left out some of the numbers that I've picked up probably don't matter much). I can attach an updated interrupt.o dump if desired.

Comment 17 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-12-12 16:42:25 UTC
kernelbugs, can you see if the problem is present in the current mainline kernel?

Grant, what kind of information is needed to get an idea of what's wrong?
Comment 18 kernelbugs 2007-12-12 18:24:10 UTC
Rafael, what do you mean by current mainline? 2.6.23.9? The latest rc? Linus's git tree? I am pretty sure it's in 2.6.23.9 (it has frozen on suspend, but it doesn't always wait until a text console is visible for me to see the oops dump so I'm not 100% sure it's the same problem), but haven't tried the others.
Comment 19 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-12-13 06:52:59 UTC

...
> Grant, what kind of information is needed to get an idea of what's wrong?

My guess is there is a race condition between the suspend and delivery of a pending IRQ. Ie the suspend path isn't waiting until either the interrupt has been delivered or possibly delivered but not completed handling of the interrupt.

I need to know the sequence of calls into the driver so I can work out the state of the driver when it's interrupt handler _should_ have been disabled. See comment #11. Something is freeing an skb that the tulip driver thinks it owns and has "in flight". I suspect it's either the netdev layer or some other part of the tulip driver.

thanks,
grant
Comment 21 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-12-13 12:26:49 UTC
I understand.

So, would it be possible to instrument the code somehow to get that information?
Comment 22 kernelbugs 2007-12-13 20:49:26 UTC
I tried a kernel compiled from Linus's git tree today, and got it to hang three
times on a suspend (with the keyboard LEDs flashing), but unfortunately it hung
before switching out of X to a text console where I could see the oops report.
I might try getting it to dump to a serial port sometime, if necessary. I was
unable to reproduce it by starting a suspend from a text console, and I tried
15 or 20 times, so some change may have made it harder to reproduce, or I was
just unlucky.

The short answer: I think the bug exists in main line, but I don't have the
proof of an oops report, just a hang with the same LEDs flashing on suspend.

Please be careful with the terminology: "hang" is different from "oops" (aka panic).

Are you accessing the X11 server through the network card somehow?

I'm wondering how X on console affects the tulip driver and don't see any connection other than PCI bus and difference in timing. It possible this is a different bug with a different symptom. If you could use serial port to dump the panic tombstone, that would probably help alot to determine if it is the same bug.

I'm already convinced a real bug was reported. I'm just not sure where to look for it. And in this update, I'm thinking there is a second problem with X11 suspend/resume that is seperate from the original bug report.
Comment 24 kernelbugs 2007-12-15 09:51:54 UTC
Sorry about the hang/panic terminology, but I assume it's both as (1) the system completely stops responding and (2) the keyboard LEDs flash the same as when I actually get to see the oops/panic. Also, I remember in the past having other oops/panics (not sure which now) that didn't result in complete non-responsiveness  (they may have been related to a failing swap partition, if I remember correctly, and perhaps the only reason it's not responding in this case is because the problem occurs with interrupt handling).

I assumed the issue with X was merely a race condition concerning whether it got to the console before oopsing, since with previous kernel versions it also hung and blinked LEDs at me before switching to a console. However, it could be a bad assumption, since I could consequently not see the bug report.

My speculation in the original bug report, which no one seems to have commented on, was that the shared interrupt between the network card and the USB controller could have something to do with it; the mouse is hooked up through USB, although the keyboard is not. However, I am not doing accessing the X server across the network in the vast majority of cases where this crash happens.

I will see if I can get a null-modem cable working to see that panic information.

Also, on a related note, there is another hang problem with this machine where the LEDs do not blink, but I want to rule out a failing hard drive (since things that don't need to be loaded from disk seem to respond) before I file a bug report against the driver.
Comment 25 Rafael J. Wysocki 2007-12-15 14:32:04 UTC
It would be helpful to test if suspend works with the tulip driver unloaded, too.
Comment 26 kernelbugs 2007-12-15 19:50:13 UTC
This oops report appeared on the mainline from Thursday morning on both
the text console and the serial console (i.e., X switched out of
graphics mode before the kernel oopsed in this case):

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

30 suspend/restart cycles after removing the tulip module worked fine.
(This isn't infallible, as an oops doesn't occur every time, but it
would usually occur after 30 tries.)

About 10 suspend/restart cycles after reinserting the tulip module
worked fine, except... it stopped working because /etc/sudoers became
corrupted in RAM; a clean reboot resulted in the original contents
reappearing, so go figure. These tests were still running from the same
in-memory image I had just tried 30 times without the tulip module;
there was no clean restart in between. However, since the oops itself
didn't happen (although something might have if I had been able to continue),
module load order could have something to do with the bug appearing.

After a clean restart, I got this oops report on the serial console
while X was still in graphics mode (this was on the 10th suspend/resume
cycle):

It certainly can be both depending on how the kernel is configured and what goes wrong. Thanks for clarifying.

I don't think it's a bad assumption - just would like to see evidence (and you collected very good evidence in the next post - awesome! :)

Sorry - I re-read that now and agree - it could be causing spurious interrupts. But the tulip driver should be able to protect itself against that. In other words, more evidence this is a tulip bug but the race condition might be different than I thought.

I suggested this only because the X11 server was in use and it's possible X is generating additional traffic - different kind of race than with the shared IRQ.

If you can reproduce it without the tulip driver involved, that would probably help.

thanks again!

Yes, It's not the same race that I thought it was. *sigh*
I think I found the problem - will propose a solution but don't know if it will work (or not).

tulip_suspend() calls tulip_down() if the interface is configured and "running". tulip_down() has this bit of code:
static void tulip_down (struct net_device *dev)
{
        struct tulip_private *tp = netdev_priv(dev);
        void __iomem *ioaddr = tp->base_addr;
        unsigned long flags;

        flush_scheduled_work();

#ifdef CONFIG_TULIP_NAPI
        napi_disable(&tp->napi);
#endif

        del_timer_sync (&tp->timer);
#ifdef CONFIG_TULIP_NAPI
        del_timer_sync (&tp->oom_timer);
#endif
        spin_lock_irqsave (&tp->lock, flags);

        /* Disable interrupts by clearing the interrupt mask. */
        iowrite32 (0x00000000, ioaddr + CSR7);

        /* Stop the Tx and Rx processes. */
        tulip_stop_rxtx(tp);

        /* prepare receive buffers */
        tulip_refill_rx(dev);

        /* release any unconsumed transmit buffers */
        tulip_clean_tx_ring(tp);
...


The intent of the iowrite32 to CSR7 is to prevent any additional interrupts. tulip_stop_rxtx() will flush that write out so we are sure that no new interrupts will be generated. Later code flushes in flight interrupts so we can be sure this tulip won't be generating interrupts.

But that completely ignores the case of a shared IRQ and polling of the tulip device. There are two ways to prevent a shared IRQ from being generated: free_irq() to unregister the Interrupt handler OR disable_irq() to block that IRQ from generating interrupts. The latter isn't what we want since USB is still active.

But I don't know offhand what hazards we will hit by moving the free_irq() call earlier in tulip_suspend(). Can someone look at this and/or test it as well?

It's a trivial change and I'll just inline it here:

Comment 29 kernelbugs 2008-03-29 11:00:01 UTC
Your suggested patch does not appear to help. (I didn't try the second alternative you mentioned.) I have three panic traces right now -- one with 2.6.24.4 unpatched, the other two with your patch. What interested me about the two patched ones is that they appear to have occurred at slightly different places in tulip_interrupt.

Let me know if you want any updated objdump output, etc., or if you would prefer me to test with an older kernel.

Kernelbugs,
thanks for testing that out...I suspect I'm still confused about then the panic is occurring. Is it happening on the "suspend" event or the "resume" event?

I'm realizing now this might be happening on the "resume" since i'm seeing "starting disk" in messages a few lines (10 or so) above the panic.

My previous suggestion was for the "suspend" (tulip_down()) code path. I think I found a real problem in "down" code path and will have to think about how to fix that. BUt if the immediate problem is with resume, I need to look more closely at tulip_init_one(). Particularly where request_irq() is called since that will effectively enable when tulip_interrupt() will start getting called.

thanks,
grant

sorry - in previous comment s/tulip_init_one/tulip_resume/
Comment 35 Grant Grundler 2008-03-30 23:34:39 UTC
Still _assuming_ this is about resume code path...

tulip_init_one() called before tulip_open() can be called.
That means the rough sequence normally on startup is:
    register_netdev()
    request_irq()
    tulip_up()
    netif_start_queue()

tulip_resume() doesn't call register_netdev but rather netif_device_attach().

It's late here and I need sleep...but the order of the calls is my first suspicion in tulip_resume(). I think netif_attach_device() will call netif_wake_queue(). This is the equivalent to calling netif_start_queue().

Can you try the patch below out?
Or experiment with the order between request_irq() and tulip_up() in tulip_resume() ?

Comment 36 kernelbugs 2008-03-31 05:50:43 UTC
I don't know which code path it's in, but this is occurring when I _suspend_. Resuming (once the image has been saved successfully) has never, to my recollection, had a problem. I suspect (from various reading) that the suspend process involves freezing devices, creating a system image, and then thawing the devices in order to be able to write the image out. Perhaps this is the source of the confusion?

I'll plan to try your suggestion later. Thanks for the time and effort you're putting into solving this.
Comment 37 kernelbugs 2008-04-02 06:03:36 UTC
OK, I tried the patch suggested in comment 35 (well, I applied it by hand) alone, in combination with the one in comment 28, and in combination with comment 28 and putting the if/tulip_up before request_irq in tulip_resume. All three combinations still crashed (I can provide the dumps on request, although I'm not sure it's worth it.)

However, I did notice this oddity, which may explain a lot. Before the first hibernate after a fresh boot with the standard (unpatched) tulip module, /proc/interrupts contains this line:
 11:       2140    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, eth0

After resuming from the first hibernate, it has:
 11:       2696    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, eth0, eth0

I haven't noticed whether it always takes at least one cycle before it crashed (actually, I thought it did sometimes crash on the first try), but with this last round of testing I noticed that it didn't crash until the second try for at least a couple of the patches. Hopefully this will help to pin down at least one of the bugs.

Thanks!
I'm sure there are issues with shared IRQ that the code does NOT take into consideration today.

This is definitely a bug. It means either the IRQ didn't get properly unregister un suspend (not likely), got registered twice (possible I guess), or the IRQ mgt code has a bug where it's messing up when the same handler calls request_irq() again. I tend to like the latter theory. (ie "My driver is fine!" ;)

Comment 39 kernelbugs 2008-04-19 06:04:27 UTC
OK, here is something new to look at. (By the way, I'm not sure if by that comment, you meant that you wanted the crash dumps from the various combinations of patches I tried; if so, let me know.)

The machine in question actually has two network cards supported by the tulip driver, although the second one isn't actually in use. What's interesting about this, however, is that the second one also shows an extra interrupt after a hibernate cycle. And it doesn't appear to be on a shared interrupt.

Before hibernate, with eth1 down:
           CPU0
  0:      31705    XT-PIC-XT        timer
  1:        285    XT-PIC-XT        i8042
  2:          0    XT-PIC-XT        cascade
  3:          9    XT-PIC-XT        serial
  4:          3    XT-PIC-XT
  5:          1    XT-PIC-XT        acpi

  7:          0    XT-PIC-XT        parport0
  8:          1    XT-PIC-XT        rtc
 10:       2391    XT-PIC-XT        au8830
 11:       5354    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, eth0
 14:       6937    XT-PIC-XT        libata
 15:       1053    XT-PIC-XT        libata

After hibernate, with eth1 still down:
           CPU0
  0:      41132    XT-PIC-XT        timer
  1:        516    XT-PIC-XT        i8042
  2:          0    XT-PIC-XT        cascade
  3:         11    XT-PIC-XT        serial
  4:          3    XT-PIC-XT
  5:          1    XT-PIC-XT        acpi
  6:          5    XT-PIC-XT        floppy
  7:          0    XT-PIC-XT        parport0
  8:          3    XT-PIC-XT        rtc
 10:       2591    XT-PIC-XT        au8830
 11:       6264    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, eth0, eth0
 12:     100000    XT-PIC-XT        eth1
 14:       7313    XT-PIC-XT        libata
 15:       1431    XT-PIC-XT        libata

If I try to bring eth1 up before hibernating and then hibernate, the network doesn't seem to come back on resume -- the hibernate script doesn't even finish, although the system otherwise comes back to a usable desktop. This could be because eth1 isn't in hibernate's configuration as an interface to bring down on suspend and back up on resume, but my initial reason for adding eth0 to that list was so that DHCP would know when the system was on or off and DHCP hostnames would work properly.

If I bring eth1 up after a hibernate, it shows the doubled interrupt handler too:
 12:     100000    XT-PIC-XT        eth1, eth1

That's ok - I'm just as comfortable debugging this on 2.6.24.

Nope. I shouldn't need console dumps unless there is something different/new than from the previous ones.

Note that "crash dump" is also called a "core dump" - it's the memory contents and CPU state saved off when the machine oop's (aka panic).

After reading the whole thing, you meant "interrupt handler" or "Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).

It's really not a different handler - it's just registering the same handler twice. The ISR should have been unregistered in "tulip_suspend" when "free_irq()" is called. But I now suspect we register the ISR once in tulip_resume() and again when we call tulip_open(). tulip_open() is called
when we "ifconfig" the interface and I assume that is done by udev or some other user space script on resume since the driver isn't saving the TCP state (it's TCP address/etc).

Yeah - this is the main clue that tulip_resume() should NOT be calling request_irq().  Good catch! :)

Excellent! I'm pretty confident tulip_resume() is wrong.
tulip_suspend() will exit early if the interface is not configured.

Can you delete a bunch of stuff from tulip_resume() so it only has the following contents?

static int tulip_resume(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
        struct net_device *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev);
        int retval;

        if (!dev)
                return -EINVAL;

        pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D0);
        pci_restore_state(pdev);

        if ((retval = pci_enable_device(pdev))) {
                printk (KERN_ERR "tulip: pci_enable_device failed in resume\n");
                return retval;
        }

        return 0;
}

I'm guessing tulip_resume() should put the NIC in the same state as if tulip_init_one() had been called. Then user space will have to ifconfig the interface so tulip_open() gets called to register the interrupt handler.

Please also add "printk" entries at the top of each of the following routines to help us debug if the suggestion above isn't working:
   tulip_init_one()
   tulip_remove_one()
   tulip_open()
   tulip_close()
   tulip_suspend()
   tulip_resume()

and any other tulip functions you think we are calling.

If I am correct, it means the tulip_suspend() and tulip_resume() are not symetrical (code assumed they were).  But I'll remind that I don't know suspend/resume code path or what's expected from the NIC drivers for that to work.

thanks,

Snipping actual contents, but something in what was removed is apparently necessary for the interface to come back up; dhclient was failing to bring it back with that change, saying:

Apr 19 18:09:08 thursday dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down
Apr 19 18:09:12 thursday dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
Apr 19 18:09:12 thursday dhclient: send_packet: Network is down
Apr 19 18:09:17 thursday dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12
Apr 19 18:09:17 thursday dhclient: send_packet: Network is down

I didn't try another time to see if this also eliminated the crash, although I guess I should; if it did still crash with this change, that would also be revealing.

I will attach the output from doing this. I prefixed all the printk lines I added with "TULIP DEBUG:", so you have something to scan for.

Kernel message log, 2.6.24.4, with printks added

The printk lines specified in comment #42 are prefixed with "TULIP DEBUG:". This log is from a boot, hibernate, resume, and hibernate again cycle; the crash occurs on the second hibernate, so you can see what gets called before it crashes (assuming the functions all make it to their printks before crashing, which is not necessarily a safe assumption).

I've now tried a few more times with the shortened version of tulip_resume, and it hasn't crashed. (The standard 2.6.24.4 version crashes almost every time after the first hibernate/resume cycle.) But, as mentioned, the interface also doesn't come back up, so something isn't completely right with that change, and the printks only report tulip_close being called before the first hibernate, with no tulip_open or tulip_close thereafter, even after multiple cycles, only tulip_suspend and tulip_resume. The interface still shows up in ifconfig -a, but doesn't seem to be configurable after a hibernate.

As a possibly useful explanatory note: I believe the tulip_open and tulip_close calls seen in the printk log are caused by the user-space dhclient bringing the interface up and down, not by an in-kernel part of the suspend process.

Some guessing based on a cursory inspection of what a few other drivers (eepro100.c, r8169.c, typhoon.c, via-velocity.c) do suggested the patch below, which hasn't crashed yet (after about 10 hibernate/resume cycles) and brings the interface back on resume. I have no idea whether it is actually correct; probably you know more about the semantics of netif_running.

Seems sane to me, actually. Replace spaces with tabs, and it looks
like mainline candidate...

PATCH suspend/resume rewrite...after checking other drivers.

kernelbugs, can you please test this patch?
If this works, I'd be happy to send this upstream.

Pavel,
The whole suspend/resume stuff for NICs is a mess. It would be good if you could look at several of the drivers and then suggest some guidelines in Documentation someplace. You might start with the following:

o NIC suspend must always call pci_save_state() and set the power to the requested state. It will also call pci_device_disable().
o NIC resume must always call pci_restore_state(). It will only call pci_enable_device() if the device was before suspend in netif_running() state. It will NOT call pci_set_power_state(D0) since pci_enable_device() is already doing that.
o In general, do not call free_irq/request_irq (most drivers don't..I'm assume low power state will stop interrupts).

etc. I don't know all the rules. After looking at several drivers (and submitting one small fix to typhoon driver), I'm convinced some guidelines will do wonders to help clean this up.

thanks,
grant
Comment 49 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-04-28 14:22:08 UTC
Well, some time ago I added the suspend/resume support to uli526x.c .  It is a good representation of how I think that should be done, although I'm not really an experienced driver writer.

If you look at the code in there, you'll notice that it doesn't call pci_disable_device()/pci_enable_device() at all, since that just plain didn't work with that chip.

As far as the guidance is concerned, we are in the process of changing the framework for suspending/resuming devices and there surely will be some guidance for the new framework (the patches that introduce the new callbacks are targeted at 2.6.27).

That patch eliminates the panic, but fails to bring the interface back up in a working state. dhclient3 just sends DHCPDISCOVERs repeatedly (after any suspend attempt), and at the beginning of a second suspend process, the kernel message log contains:

0000:00:13.0: tulip_stop_rxtx() failed (CSR5 0xffffffff CSR6 0xffffffff)

and

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

at the very end (after resuming a second time, presumably when the hibernate script tries to bring the interface back up).

The messages above appear in the log for a second suspend process, after the first one has already failed to bring the interface back. (Yes, I am repeating myself to make sure the point isn't missed.)

Removing the module and reinserting allows the interface to be brought back up in a working state.
Comment 51 Grant Grundler 2008-05-31 21:15:46 UTC
jgarzik applied to his tree. Expect this to be fixed in 2.6.26-rc5 or so.

Syntax error in the submission to netdev was my fault:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121057430021417&w=2

Thanks to jgarzik for fixing the syntax error and applying it.

I'll track the other issues I found during code reviews (interrupts
being delivered despite disabling the chip) in my TODO list.
