My bisection got down to the last few steps and just didn't make sense. So, I ended up starting it over. I'm not sure how/why I saw that v4.3 worked the first time around, but the second time around it failed. So I also tried a pre-made 4.2.8-300 kernel from Fedora 23 and it failed as well. The problem at least spans 4.2 through 4.4, so it's been a while. I'll continue searching more kernels tomorrow, but I've been doing this while I still have company in town for the holidays so I'm gonna go be with them when I'm done writing this. I've recently made some changes to my network setup here, so that might be related to why I'm seeing it now. I'll provide details on my test setup in case any of it helps people on this: Ethernet network is used for RDMA testing. Switches are Mellanox 56GigE switches. The ports with multiple vlans are all set in hybrid mode, untagged frames to vlan 40, tagged frames for vlans 43 and 45 allowed. Switch has DCB enabled, priority 5 is no-drop, ports are set to use PFC and MTU 9216 and LLDP is enabled on the ports as well. The head node of the cluster runs dhcpd on the vlans (as well as the InfiniBand ports). The test machine has a static IP address configured for each port/vlan in the server's config. On the client, I've set the base interface to dhcp, vlan 43 to static IP assignment, and vlan 45 to dhcp. This allows me to see at a glance if things are working since I know if the base device gets an IP and vlan 45 doesn't and instead times out and goes away, then the dhcp on the vlan failed. (I needed to set one vlan to static so the vlan creation didn't depend on dhcp success because with some kernel versions and some hardware types, namely mlx5, vlans weren't working at all and you could mistake no vlans made for a problem with dhcp when it was really a problem with vlans on mlx5 hardware). This is the failing device's config: [root@rdma-perf-00 ~]$ more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-mlx4_roce.45 DEVICE=mlx4_roce.45 VLAN=yes VLAN_ID=45 REORDER_HDR=0 VLAN_EGRESS_PRIORITY_MAP=0:5,1:5,2:5,3:5,4:5,5:5,6:5,7:5 TYPE=Vlan ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=no PEERDNS=no PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=no IPV6_PEERDNS=no IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME=mlx4_roce.45 And if the interface actually comes up, there is this NetworkManager dispatcher script: [root@rdma-perf-00 ~]$ more /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/98-mlx4_roce.45-egress.conf #!/bin/sh interface=$1 status=$2 [ "$interface" = mlx4_roce.45 ] || exit 0 case $status in up) tc qdisc add dev mlx4_roce root mqprio num_tc 8 map 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 queues 32@0 32@32 32@64 32@96 32@128 32@160 32@192 32@224 # tc_wrap.py -i mlx4_roce -u 5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5 ;; esac The base device's config file is this: [root@rdma-perf-00 ~]$ more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-mlx4_roce DEVICE=mlx4_roce TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:02:c9:31:77:91 BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=no PEERDNS=no PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=no IPV6_PEERDNS=no IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no MTU=9000 NAME=mlx4_roce Let me know if you need any more details on the setup.
