I'm having problems getting PF + ALTQ to work on em(4) interfaces under 8.0-RELEASE. Kernel was rebuilt with the additional options necessary for ALTQ and what not. Same basic configuration works fine under 7.2-RELEASE. Basically, the queues create successfully but running a pfctl -vsq shows a zero packet/byte count for all queues, even the interface's root queues.
This same problem is mentioned in PR kern/138392, and the following forum thread... http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=6656 em(4)/e1000 driver from CURRENT does not fix the problem. Building an 8.0-RELEASE kernel with the em(4) driver from 7.2-RELEASE fixes the problem (i.e., replacing sys/dev/e1000 with that from 7.2). One of the machines im experiencing this on has the following intel chipset... [u...@foo ~]$ sysctl dev.em.0 dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.6 dev.em.0.%driver: em dev.em.0.%location: slot=0 function=0 dev.em.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x10d3 subvendor=0x15d9 subdevice=0x040d class=0x020000 dev.em.0.%parent: pci3 dev.em.0.debug: -1 dev.em.0.stats: -1 dev.em.0.rx_int_delay: 0 dev.em.0.tx_int_delay: 66 dev.em.0.rx_abs_int_delay: 66 dev.em.0.tx_abs_int_delay: 66 dev.em.0.rx_processing_limit: 100 Is this issue receiving any attention? I ask because one of the em(4) driver contributors mentioned he had not heard of this problem in a recent thread regarding a different em(4) bug, and this is a pretty serious problem for me as I have many devices in production that need to be upgraded to 8.0, all running Intel interfaces and relying on ALTQ. I appreciate any updates or information and would be happy to test any patches and/or provide more information. Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
