Has anyone else seen anything like this...
panic(c0334f20,c392e400,ff807f44,c021fd76,c392e400) at panic+0xa4 rtfree(c392e400) at rtfree+0x27 syncache_free(debe8fc0,62000000,debe8fc0,1,debe8660) at syncache_free+0x56 syncache_drop(debe8fc0,0,1,c0220118,40000000) at syncache_drop+0xd8 syncache_timer(1,40000000,0,0,ffffffff) at syncache_timer+0xa8 softclock(0,ff800018,10,c0390010,ffffffff) at softclock+0xd1 doreti_swi() at doreti_swi+0xf The system is running 4.6. There were messages that immediately preceeded this about 'All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7).'. Does it seem reasonable to get a panic in this circumstance? The system is setup with 1GB of memory, 2x 2GHz XEON processors. I'm using ipfw with a 'fwd' rule to attract non-local traffic, like this: 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00101 allow ip from me to any 00102 allow ip from any to me 00105 fwd 127.0.0.1,8000 tcp from any to any 5000 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 allow ip from any to any I have a process listening on local tcp port 8000 which uses kqueue/kevent with a single thread of execution. I had: # sysctl -a |grep nmb kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 6656 kern.ipc.nmbufs: 26624 (which I'm in the process of increasing :) I'm expecting to keep ~35K TCP sessions open on this device. Is syncache appropriate, or should I disable and use an external device to protect against DOS? net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_syn_lifetime: 20 net.inet.tcp.syncookies: 1 net.inet.tcp.syncache.bucketlimit: 30 net.inet.tcp.syncache.cachelimit: 15359 net.inet.tcp.syncache.count: 0 net.inet.tcp.syncache.hashsize: 512 net.inet.tcp.syncache.rexmtlimit: 3 post-restart I see: vm.zone: ITEM SIZE LIMIT USED FREE REQUESTS PIPE: 160, 0, 2, 100, 46 SWAPMETA: 160, 256702, 0, 0, 0 unpcb: 160, 0, 5, 45, 61 ripcb: 192, 12328, 0, 21, 1 divcb: 192, 12328, 0, 0, 0 syncache: 160, 15359, 0, 0, 0 tcpcb: 544, 12328, 2, 13, 2 udpcb: 192, 12328, 5, 37, 47 socket: 192, 12328, 12, 30, 116 KNOTE: 64, 0, 0, 128, 10 DIRHASH: 1024, 0, 20, 4, 29 NFSNODE: 352, 0, 3, 19, 3 NFSMOUNT: 544, 0, 3, 11, 3 VNODE: 192, 0, 895, 59, 895 NAMEI: 1024, 0, 0, 16, 3309 VMSPACE: 192, 0, 21, 43, 164 PROC: 416, 0, 26, 23, 169 DP fakepg: 64, 0, 0, 0, 0 PV ENTRY: 28, 1756814, 7080, 254927, 43688 MAP ENTRY: 48, 0, 301, 167, 10625 KMAP ENTRY: 48, 64303, 84, 129, 709 MAP: 108, 0, 7, 3, 7 VM OBJECT: 96, 0, 407, 59, 2747 --don To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
