I thought about that possibility, thank you for the clarification.
Don't transmit mbufs that aren't yet ready on TOE sockets.
This includes mbufs waiting for data from sendfile() I/O requests, or
mbufs awaiting encryption for KTLS.

This patch only applies to Chelsio T5/T6 NICs when using TOE (TCP
offload)
and doesn't affect freeing mbufs, it just fixes a race when the NIC
could
potentially send random garbage if it sends the mbuf before the
scheduled
disk I/O to populate it with data from disk has completed.
Understood.
NIC is:
ix0: <Intel(R) PRO/10GbE PCI-Express Network Driver>
What can we do to help you find the root cause?
The first step I would do if possible would be to bisect between the
last
known working version and the version that is known to be broken to
determine which commit introduced the problem. One thing that could
help
here is to see if you can reproduce the problem using a 12.2 kernel on
a
12.1 world + ports. If you can, then you can limit your bisecting to
just
building new kernels which will make that process quicker.
Thank you for the tip, I'll try that path and let you know.
You might also see if using a different NIC shows the same problem. If
not, then it might point to a regression in the NIC driver (or perhaps
in
iflib as ix uses iflib I believe).
Unfortunately, not a possibility here.
I did some other tests and found where the problem arise. In fact, we
use
proxy_pass directive within Nginx and the network flow goes through one
public
interface (ix0) and proxy_pass through a second (ix1) towards a remote
machine.
Changing the Nginx configuration to only go through ix0 does not cause
the
issue. So that's something about with passing packets between 2 NICs.
I'll keep you posted.
