Description Tina Yang 2007-10-04 16:24:15 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Think the problem has always been there.
Distribution:
Hardware Environment:
DELL PowerEdge 2650 (x86)
DELL PowerEdge 2850(x86_64)
HP ProLiant DL380 G5 (x86_64) 
with various NICs - e1000, tg3, bnx2
Software Environment:
2.6.9, 2.6.18, 2.6.23
Problem Description:
On 2.6.18 found this issue on e1000 and tg3. On mainline 2.6.23-rc* found this
 issue on e100,tgs and bnx2.  It either panicked
at netdevice.h:890 or hung the system, and sometimes depending
on which NIC are used, the following console message,
 e1000:
      "e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang"
 tg3:
      "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth4: transmit timed out"
      "tg3: eth4: transmit timed out, resetting"

Steps to reproduce:
1. On 2.6.18 (both x86_x86_64) insert netconsole module.(NIC: e1000 and tg3)
2. Run a moderate io load , preferably fio - one process doing async+directIO using libaio 

fio jobfile:
[global]
iodepth=1024
iodepth_batch=60
randrepeat=1
size=1024m
directory=/home/oracle
numjobs=2
[job1]
bs=8k
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
rw=randrw
filename=file1:file2

3. From second console as root do " echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger"

Machine will instantly hang.

OK, but in my 2.6.18, include/linux/netdevice.h:890 is a
local_irq_restore() in netif_rx_complete().  I don't see how that can go
BUG.

Does your 2.6.18 have any patches applied?

Please tell us what is at include/linux/netdevice.h:890 in your 2.6.18
tree.
Comment 2 Tina Yang 2007-10-04 16:48:46 UTC
The postmortem vmcore analysis points to a race between net_rx_action and 
netpoll, and disabling the following code segment cures all problems.

netpoll.c
   178         /* Process pending work on NIC */
   179         np->dev->poll_controller(np->dev);
   180         if (np->dev->poll)
   181                 poll_napi(np);

There seems to be several race windows in poll_controller() and poll_napi() 
and fixing them probably has consequence on overall system performance.
Maybe this code should only run when the machine is single-threaded ?

           Summary: Netconsole race crashed the system
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.9, 2.6.18, 2.6.23
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:acme@ghostprotocols.net">acme@ghostprotocols.net</a>
        ReportedBy: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tina.yang@oracle.com">tina.yang@oracle.com</a>


Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Think the problem has always been there.
Distribution:
Hardware Environment:
DELL PowerEdge 2650 (x86)
DELL PowerEdge 2850(x86_64)
HP ProLiant DL380 G5 (x86_64) 
with various NICs - e1000, tg3, bnx2
Software Environment:
2.6.9, 2.6.18, 2.6.23
Problem Description:
On 2.6.18 found this issue on e1000 and tg3. On mainline 2.6.23-rc* found this
 issue on e100,tgs and bnx2.  It either panicked
at netdevice.h:890 or hung the system, and sometimes depending
on which NIC are used, the following console message,
 e1000:
      "e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang"
 tg3:
      "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth4: transmit timed out"
      "tg3: eth4: transmit timed out, resetting"

Steps to reproduce:
1. On 2.6.18 (both x86_x86_64) insert netconsole module.(NIC: e1000 and tg3)
2. Run a moderate io load , preferably fio - one process doing async+directIO
using libaio 

fio jobfile:
[global]
iodepth=1024
iodepth_batch=60
randrepeat=1
size=1024m
directory=/home/oracle
numjobs=2
[job1]
bs=8k
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
rw=randrw
filename=file1:file2

3. From second console as root do " echo t &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger"

Machine will instantly hang.

OK, but in my 2.6.18, include/linux/netdevice.h:890 is a
local_irq_restore() in netif_rx_complete().  I don't see how that can go
BUG.

Does your 2.6.18 have any patches applied?

Please tell us what is at include/linux/netdevice.h:890 in your 2.6.18

So you are not using a "pure" v2.6.18 kernel rom kernel.org but more likely
a distribution kernel that had already integrated the mac80211 stuff.

Comparing your version with the original 2.6.18 from kernel.org git shows:

So you are not using a "pure" v2.6.18 kernel from kernel.org but more likely
a distribution kernel that had already integrated the mac80211 stuff.

    Yes, it's RHEL5 2.6.18-8.  Attached is the 2.6.9-42 version that 
doesn't have 802.11 and
    crashed at the same spot - netdevice.h:888.  Also crashed are 
2.6.23-rc2 and rc4.

2.6.9-42 is, again, a vendor modified kernel.

Please show the crash information against vanilla upstream kernels if
you want us to take a serious look at this, thanks a lot.
Comment 9 Neil Horman 2007-10-05 13:28:42 UTC
I've got an upstream patch to this in two commits here:
http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/nhorman/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=netpoll

I've not reproduced the problem, but have sent the patch to ingo for testing.

This problem was origionally reported upstream and fixed here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.24.git;a=commit;h=29578624e354f56143d92510fff33a8b2aaa2c03
and then later reverted here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.24.git;a=commit;h=2e27afb300b56d83bb03fbfa68852b9c1e2920c6

The patches in my tree are my attempt to fix it while avoiding the e1000 regression as I understood it.  Hopefully ingo will have tested it soon, and it is also being tested at the customer site on the older Red Hat 2.6.9-42 kernel

Ok, I ran it on 2.6.23-rc8, hang.
Console said  panicked at tg3_poll+0x747 - netdevice.h:1008, same place ?
I am not sure if I can get a core dump at this point...

Comment 11 Neil Horman 2007-10-08 06:20:50 UTC
hmm, do you have the rest of this crash?  And can you post the patch that you used to test with?  The fact that you got a BUG in netdevice.h:1008 suggests that the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED flag was cleared while the __LINK_STATE_NETPOLL_SERVICED bit was never set.  This in my mind suggests that:
1) Netpoll isn't involved in this crash (which makes the above path moot)
2) Someone is clearing the RX_SCHED flag without holding the poll_lock, which would be bad.

The above panic was from a vanilla 2.6.23-rc8.  Top of the stack dump had rolled
out of the console window.

I tried your patch on 2.6.23-rc8 (below) as well as a vanilla 2.6.23.1,
both hung the system as soon as I started the test.  But this time, no messages
shown on the console.

Comment 13 Asbjørn Sannes 2007-11-13 04:47:06 UTC
I am working on the kernel a lot, and it seems that when I output alot to netconsole at the same time as userspace (like ssh) I get a kernel panic. The trigger for me is when I do tar -jxvf somearchive triggers it while tar -jxf somearchive does not trigger it .. Currently running 2.6.22.12: I get the following trace:
