kernel bug in 11.3-STABLE causes frequent crashes
The rest of this message was posted a little while ago to the freebsd-questions list by mistake. It was intended for freebsd-stable, so I am posting it here now after posting a brief apology on the other list. I have had to waste a great deal of time lately in recovering my system from crashes due to a kernel bug. At present, my system is FreeBSD hellas 11.3-STABLE FreeBSD 11.3-STABLE #12 r352571: Sat Sep 21 11:39:52 CDT 2019 bennett@hellas:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/hellas amd64 There are actually at least two problems, but this particular one has been causing a large portion of my forced reboots. It usually fails to produce a dump and freezes right after the panic and backtrace messages, as it did earlier tonight, but Wednesday night it did create a dump, which I am keeping in case it should prove helpful in getting the bug identified and solved. I copied the console messages to paper painstakingly by hand. They appear to be identical each time, except, of course, for the messages that a dump is produced when, indeed, it does produce one. I am omitting those fairly standard messages.

I have a comment on that line, saying I added it for 8.x, so I probably found it in 8.1's GENERIC configuration file when I was preparing to upgrade from 7.3. It is interesting that it only started hitting me (hard enough to make me notice it, at least) in 11.3 and maybe a bit earlier in 11.2. Anyway, that will be easy enough to fix, but will require rolling /usr/src back to the revision I am running, which is probably also no big deal. I don't seem to be able to build it at the current source revision because 11-STABLE's buildworld began failing during the libc build two or three weeks ago. I just tried "svn update /usr/src" again, followed by "make -j6 buildworld", and it still fails with this ending. --- libc_pic.a --- ranlib -D libc_pic.a --- libc.a --- ranlib -D libc.a --- libc.so.7.full --- cc: error: unable to execute command: posix_spawn failed: Permission denied cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) *** [libc.so.7.full] Error code 1 make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/lib/libc 1 error make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/lib/libc *** [lib/libc__L] Error code 2 make[3]: stopped in /usr/src 1 error make[3]: stopped in /usr/src *** [libraries] Error code 2 make[2]: stopped in /usr/src 1 error make[2]: stopped in /usr/src *** [_libraries] Error code 2 make[1]: stopped in /usr/src 1 error make[1]: stopped in /usr/src *** [buildworld] Error code 2 make: stopped in /usr/src 1 error make: stopped in /usr/src Oh, well.

I'm not sure what is in 12.1. Hi Doug! Thanks. Okay, I infer from that that the mpr driver is for HBAs that aren't raid? Grepping through the sources for 3516 found me only mpr. Looking more carefully, at mrsas while knowing specifically what I'm looking for, I find the PCI device ID (0x0014) as "AVAGO Ventura SAS Controller". And, that code (mrsas) is about the same in stable-12 as is it in -current. Can you provide some guidance of what I need to do to get the mrsas driver to identify it when booting the install ISO? - Chris ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I spent a bunch of time moving around stable-12 by date, and an ISO build from stable-12 as of 2019-10-14 works (rev 353483), and 2019-10-15 (rev 353541) does not.

Okay. I know I was messing with that parameter on one of these machines, I though I'd tried it on this one. But, maybe that was the older box with the HBA in it. While I try that, I have a question. I understood that tunable to be a way to get the mfi(4) driver to allow the mrsas(4) driver to be used for devices they both would recognize. But, in this case, it's clear that the mfi(4) driver has now knowledge of this device. Is that tunable being set necessary to have the mrsas(4) driver even find the devices it knows how to support that mfi(4) doesn't? If so, that's a very unfortunate situation. Because there will be a significant set of controllers, like the one I have in this system, that totally fail to present themselves when installing from the install media. Maybe this is a political issue, and I should stop thinking about it, but.
