I've looked at the code paths again. There are two possibilities:
a) the mbuf allocator has some anomaly where it rejects memory requests
but doesn't update the statistics (the code is there however).
b) the error doesn't come from the mbuf allocation but from ip_output()
and further down the chain.
To differentiate please try this updated patch and report the log output
again (don't forget to set net.inet.tcp.log_debug=1):

hi
I'am also meet this problem in my mss server(missey streaming server).
one encoder push stream to mss, then run 100 client player playing the
sream, as the client number increase, mss will occur this error sooner or
later
like this:
I'am using kqueue, and will got a event with EV_EOF and fflags =
ETIMEDOUT,
if i ignore EV_EOF flag, then ETIMEDOUT will be return by read(2),
and the tcpdump also show that server will send RST packet to encoder.
Hello,
I'm are having a trouble with TCP connections being dropped with "read:
Operation timed out". What is unusual is that this is happening right in
the middle of sending a steady stream of data with no network congestion.
The system is FreeBSD 7 and a bespoke streaming server with 1Gbit
connection. The server receives a 192kbps inbound stream over TCP, and
broadcasts it over a large number of TCP streams.
With no visible or obvious pattern, the inbound read() fails with
ETIMEDOUT. The likelihood of this happening seems to increase as the
number of audience connections increases. It's happens every few minutes
even with a small audience (eg. 300 outbound connections and about
60mbit).
It doesn't cough and splutter -- steady data is coming in, then it just
drops the connection.
systat doesn't show problems inbound; all packets received are delivered
to the upper layer. But on outbound, there is consistent 'output drops':
IP Output
7028 total packets sent
7028 - generated locally
314 - output drops
As the number of outbound connections increases, the 'output drops'
increases to around 10% of the total packets sent and maintains that
ratio. There's no problems with network capacity.
I've tried different servers, different network interfaces (bge, em),
different kernel (7-RELEASE, 7-STABLE). Have also checked dev.bge.0.stats
and dev.em.0.stats for CRC errors etc. which show no problems. 'netstat
-m' doesn't show any reaching of mbuf and sbuf limits. The problem is seen
in a dedicated, uncontended test environment.
Can anyone explain why the packets are being dropped outbound, and how
this could affect inbound TCP data in such an abrupt way? What can I do to
solve this?
Thanks,
Mark
