NFS client over udp

2011-02-18 Thread Kirill Yelizarov
Good Day!

I have a reproducible memory leak when using nfs client with an old nfs server 
using udp protocol. I'm running rsync every hour from a mounted nfs volume to 
an ufs local volume. Each time rsync is running wired memory is increased. 
Wired memory is rising when rsync is in getblk or biord state. When rsync is 
complete memory is not freed and lately all memory is in active or wired state 
and system starts swapping. I didn't see such behavior when client os was 
RELEASE-8.0. Then i switched to STABLE-8.1 of late summer and found this leak 
so i upgraded to STABLE-8.2Prerelease and got the same leak. vmstat -m shows 
nothing big. 

client version:
FreeBSD imap1.***.com 8.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 
13:54:25 MSK 2011 root@imap1..com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IMAP1  amd64

i tried different mounting options:   
1 - rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsv3,intr,mntudp,rdirplus,
readdirsize=65536,noauto,noexec
2 - rw,nfsv3,mntudp,noexec

i also tried setting -tso -txcsum -rxcsum for igb network card

Regards,
Kirill

Is ZFS in use on the system which sees rising wired memory?

LSI has actually been working on the driver, and has almost completed their
version of it.  It will go into FreeBSD in the near future.  In the mean
time I have merged the mps(4) driver into -stable.

Yeah, they weren't really related.  Someone went through and eliminated a
few instances of double semicolons, and one of them was in the mps driver.
I just merged the whole change since it was rather harmless.

It is in -stable now, and so should be in 8.3.  We didn't make it in time
for 8.2 unfortunately.

MFC is done, try it out and let me know if there are any problems.

CVSup'ing as we speak ;)

When you say -stable, I assume that's 8.2-RC3 yes ?

I'm not very familiar with the whole CVSup / MFC / release process...

No, that is in a separate branch that is frozen.  This won't be in 8.2, we
would have had to have gotten it in in December to make 8.2.

This is in stable/8.

mps(4) driver (LSI 6Gb SAS) commited to stable/8

2011-02-18 Thread Kenneth D. Merry

I just merged the mps(4) driver to stable/8, for those of you with LSI 6Gb
SAS hardware.

It is only included in GENERIC on amd64, since that is the only
architecture that I know of that it has been tested on.  It may work on
i386, if anyone would like to try it out.

There are known endian issues, so testing on a big-endian platform (like
powerpc) won't work.  If you'd like to help fix the endian issues, let me
know.

Integrated RAID support is not included in this version of the driver, but
LSI has almost completed their version of the driver that does include IR
support.  That will hopefully be going into -current in the next few weeks.
There are lots of changes in their version of the driver, particularly in
the probe code.

There are also a couple of othere issues with the driver that I am planning
to fix in -current today and merge back into stable/8 in a few days.  In
particular I have fixes for these issues:

 - I/O locks up when you run out of S/G chain frames.
 - The device queue is not frozen on errors.
 - For some firmware revisions, the firmware will not return all
   outstanding commands for a device when the device goes away.  Cleanup
   logic is needed.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

To be very clear, stable/8 is tagged "RELENG_8" in cvs, so you need to
specify a tag of "RELENG_8" in your supfile.
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8

Hi Kevin and thanks for your reply,


As I just told Kenneth (switched to private exchanges to not spam the
list with meaningless stuff), I'm afraid I don't get a sys/dev/mps/
folder when I sync against RELENG_8




nas# grep release /etc/cvsup/stable-supfile
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
#src-release

nas# ls -lad /usr/src/sys/dev/mp*
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Feb 18 19:17 /usr/src/sys/dev/mpt


Oh wait, it occurs to me the mirror I sync on might not be up to date yet...

Re: statd/lockd startup failure

2011-02-18 Thread Rick Macklem
I've seen this intermittently for mountd. I think the problem is that
the code finds an unused port for udp/ip6 and then tries to use the
same port# for tcp/ip6, udp/ip4, tcp/ip4. All three daemons have
essentially the same function for doing this.

The attached patches changes the behaviour so that it tries to
get an unused port for each of the 4 cases.
(This all applies to the "wildcard" case, where no port# or
hosts have been specified as command args.)

If you have the chance to try these patches, please let us know
how they work for you?

Please be aware of a performance issue affecting certain models of WD
RE4 disks.  Specifics are still sketchy, but you should read the thread
"immense delayed write to file system (ZFS and UFS2), performance
issues" in full to get an idea of the problem:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-January/thread.html#54185

There's confirmation of the problem here, with the statement that WD
gave at least one person a firmware image that fixed the problem:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-January/054489.html

Buyer beware.  :-)  And remember, it's not an issue with the
brand/vendor, just certain models.  Caviar Black drives don't appear
affected (and don't let the TLER stuff make you lose focus), which is
one reason why I advocate them.

The best stress test I have found has been to just do a single sequential
write stream with ZFS.  i.e.:

cd /path/to/zfs/pool
dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M

Just let it run for a long period of time and see what happens.

What model controller do you have, and what firmware do you have on it?

I have run into some bugs with the LSI 2.0 firmware, notably that you'll
get IOC Busy errors as well as some bogus invalid LBA errors with SATA
disks.  (I'm guessing it wouldn't happen with SAS disks.)  The 8.0 firmware
is better, but the version for the 9211-8i is not able to recognize large
numbers (more than 20) drives.  (I reported that to LSI and they supplied a
fix.)

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same issue, but I also had to flash
some WD drives a few month ago.
There was a bad firmware version on some 2TB RE4-GP models; disks kept
getting removed from RAID volumes due to write timeouts.

Disks these days are no longer just disks, but complete computers with
ram, many processors, and the associated software issues...

Well, my disks are (possibly happily ;) not RE4-GP but real RE4 (yellow labels,

But thanks, I'll take additional time to log smartctl data during the

Well, provided that I'm plannign to use ZFSv28 to be in place, wouldn't be 
/dev/random more appropriate?

No -- /dev/urandom maybe, but not /dev/random.  /dev/urandom will also
induce significantly higher CPU load than /dev/zero will.  Don't forget
that ZFS is a processor-centric (read: no offloading) system.

I tend to try different block sizes (starting at bs=8k and working up to
bs=256k) for sequential benchmarks.  The "sweet spot" on most disks I've
found is 64k.  Otherwise use benchmarks/bonnie++.

/dev/urandom is linked to /dev/random.  Is there some other difference I'm
not aware of, or are you confusing it with Linux's random?

When FreeBSD updated its random number engine a couple of years ago,
random and urandom became the same thing. Unless I am missing something,
a switch should make no difference.

You and Adam's comments are both valid.  I tend to work on a multitude
of OSes (specifically Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD), so I tend to use
what behaves the same universally (/dev/urandom in this case).  Sorry
for the mix-up/noise.

There is no difference between the two on FreeBSD, although anyone using the 
platform is hoping that Yarrow is "good enough".  Wikipedia has a fine article 
on the subject:

Thank you Ken for getting this done. Any plan to support the LSI 9240
(skinny) cards? if its a matter of hardware to develop with, contact
me off list and I can provide you with a development system.

thx

8.2-RC3-amd64 install hangs on Dell T110

2011-02-18 Thread Ron McDowell

If I've come to the wrong list with this, please redirect me.

I have a brand new Dell T110, 2.53ghz Xeon 3440, 8gb [2x4gb] ram, 4x1tb 
Hitachi SAS hd, Apple USB keyboard and mouse [just to cover all the 
hardware]


Booting 8.2-RC3 amd64 disc1 looks good through all the bright-white 
text, but it's hard to read scrolling by that fast :) then shows one 
line of normal-bright text:


/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0

then hangs, never gets to the blue install screens.

This is new hardware to me, but it loads Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and OpenBSD 
4.8 amd64 fine, so I'm assuming it's not flaky hardware.


I'd be happy to try any patches or debugging tips, but this is my only 
amd64 box and since I can't yet get FreeBSD onto it, it would have to be 
something I don't have to build.


Thanks.

Again, thank you very much Ken.  I'm planning to stress test this on 846 case
filled with 12 (yet) WD RE4 disks organized as raidz2, and will post the
results.

Any hints to particularly I/O stressing patterns?  Out of my mind, I'm planning
multiple parallel -j'ed builds, parallel tars, *SQL benchmarks -- what else
could you suppose?


benchmarks/iozone is nice, and you can get nifty graphs out of it.  It 
walks through various block sizes and is very long running.  It can 
probably tickle lots of stuff.  The results are also pretty informative - 
you can see very clearly in the graphs whatever your weak spots are.

That'll be up to LSI most likely.

If it has the mpt2 interface, then I'm sure they'll support it through the
mps driver.

If it has the MegaRAID interface, then the mfi driver would need to be
modified.
