Hi all, I'm running into crashes with the ixgbe driver on a FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE system equipped with an Intel X520-SR2 (and using a Supermicro X8DTU-F motherboard). I was wondering whether somebody might have seen this before.
I updated the driver to the latest version I found on Intel's download page, which is 2.0.1. However, the moment I run tcpdump on my ix1 interface (which is connected to a switch's monitor port), I see almost immediate crashes of the kind below. Sometimes tcpdump outputs a few 10s of packets before the system crashes, but most of the time it doesn't even get that far. I saw that 8.0-STABLE comes with a more recent version of the driver. Any chance that that might fix the problem? Any other thoughts? Thanks, Robin --------- cut ------------------------------------------------------- syslog from crash: May 14 16:42:24 bart kernel: ix1: link state changed to UP May 14 16:43:34 bart kernel: ix1: promiscuous mode enabled May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: cpuid = 5; apic id = 05 May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: fault virtual address = 0xffff80403d38d3b8 May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: fault code = supervisor read data, page not present May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff808437fe May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: stack pointer = 0x28:0xffffff82b34d5970 May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: frame pointer = 0x28:0xffffff82b34d5980 May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1 May 14 16:43:35 bart kernel: processor eflags = interrupt enabled, Driver initalization: ix0: <Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver, Version - 2.0.1> port 0xec00-0xec1f mem 0xf8f80000-0xf8ffffff,0xf8f7c006 ix0: Using MSIX interrupts with 33 vectors ix0: [ITHREAD] [...] ix0: Ethernet address: 00:1b:21:55:7f:d8 ix0: PCI Express Bus: Speed 5.0Gb/s Width x8 ix1: <Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver, Version - 2.0.1> port 0xe880-0xe89f mem 0xf8e80000-0xf8efffff,0xf8e7c006 ix1: Using MSIX interrupts with 33 vectors ix1: [ITHREAD] [...] ix1: Ethernet address: 00:1b:21:55:7f:d9 ix1: PCI Express Bus: Speed 5.0Gb/s Width x8 ifconfig ix1 ix1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=5bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,LRO> ether 00:1b:21:55:7f:d9 media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-SR <full-duplex>) status: active -- Robin Sommer * Phone +1 (510) 666-2886 * ro...@icir.org ICSI/LBNL * Fax +1 (510) 666-2956 * www.icir.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
