70KB/sec. Normally I get around 9MB/sec.

I am actually in the process of building a new world/kernel to update 
it again as I thought it might be something that's fixed. I 
unfortunatly can not boot the old kernel to see if it works fine in 
that because of the statfs changes so it *could* possibly be the NIC 
has gone funny.

I also have a 3c905a and a 3c905b in my router machine and this is 
showing no issues at all with the same dated kernel.

Matt.

I am now running a 5.2-BETA kernel from today and still have the problem 
with my xl0 card here. I can only get a max throughput of around 
110KB/sec through it. And I am getting huge amounts of errors in the 
interface stats (5 minutes after booting):

NameMtu Network   Address  Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes 
 Opkts Oerrs Obytes  Coll

309460 0  208178476 0

So the question is, is this my network card has died and I need to throw 
it out or is it related to Jimmy Selgen's email about the watchdog 
timeouts?

It's a shame I can't boot an old kernel to test really.

Matt.

I have done some testing on this. I've changed the network cable, switch 
port etc. No affect.

I've found though that if I ftp this box and GET a file it goes at 
around 6MB/sec. But if I PUT a file it goes at 100KB/sec.

Previously this has worked at around 9-10MB/sec both ways. I can't place 
a date on it though because I've not tried to do large file transfers 
for a long time and only just noticed it this week.

So it looks like it is driver related I guess. The buffer scenario 
Jimmy reported looks likely.

Re: NFS lockup issues and xl0 watchdog timeout

2003-11-24 Thread Matt Smith
I've had a possible idea regarding the NFS issues.

I'm wondering if perhaps my NFS issues are related to the other email 
thread I have going which is the xl0: watchdog timeouts etc.

I had not noticed this until last week because it's not often I copy 
large files from one machine to another but doing an ftp/scp etc from 
one machine to the other I'm only getting 100KB/sec with a PUT from my 
nfsclient-nfsserver, and 6MB/sec with a GET.

This used to go at 9-10MB/sec both ways.

Thinking about it I think this started happening around the same time I 
started having NFS issues.

My NFS issues are also only when writing to the server from the client, 
never the other way around. So this ties up with the throughput figure 
difference I get on FTP.

Jimmy mentioned a watchdog timeout caused by what looked like a 10-15 
second delay in a buffer going from userland to kernel?

I guess if this is the case it could kill NFS as well.

Tomorrow night I will change my xl0 card in this desktop for a spare 
realtek card I happen to have and test throughput and NFS.

I'll let you know my results. It would be interesting to see if the 
other person who reported these NFS issues (soren) has a similar experience.

Matt.

xl0: watchdog timeout

2003-11-21 Thread Jimmy Selgen
Hi

I'm getting some strange xl0 timeout messages on 5.1-CURRENT (synced
today).

I've searched the archives, and it seems that this problem is related to
ACPI
(http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=608457+0+archive/2003/freebsd-current/20031109.freebsd-current)
Strange thing is that this worked perfectly with FreeBSD-5.1-RELEASE.

The NIC still works, just get xl0: watchdog timeout every now and
then.

I'm attaching a full dmesg in case you know what to look for. 
The hardware is :
AMD Barton 2800
Asus A7V8X Deluxe
1024 mb. DDR333 Ram (PC2700 ?)
Promise 20376 SATA raid 
and the 3x509-TX.

I saw this with some of sam's locking changes that (temporarily) broke

I am actually in the process of building a new world/kernel to update it 
again as I thought it might be something that's fixed. I unfortunatly 
can not boot the old kernel to see if it works fine in that because of 
the statfs changes so it *could* possibly be the NIC has gone funny.

I also have a 3c905a and a 3c905b in my router machine and this is 
showing no issues at all with the same dated kernel.

 The box in question is my workstation, so I guess i'm not passing that
 much traffic through ipfilter. Also, when I said that the NIC still
 worked, I might have mislead you a bit. I had about 5-10 timeouts while
 scp'ing the dmesg output to my other workstation.
 Data seems to move from userland to the kernel, then get stuck in
 buffers there for 10-15 seconds, generating timeouts, before they're
 shipped off. I assume this is expected behaviour when a NIC isnt
 behaving correctly.

OK, it's still possible something is triggering a locking bug.  Or
your problem could be elsewhere.

  It would be helpful if you can do a binary search to narrow down when
  the problem started.
 What would you have me search ? I'm a faily seasoned C programmer (12
 years experience, some of them doing RTOS kernel work), but dont know
 much about FreeBSD kernel development, or the process of checking out
 different kernel revisions.

You have a couple of choices..if you update your sources by cvsup,
there's a date keyword you can use in your cvsupfile to select sources
from that date.  If you're using cvsup to fetch a local repository and
then cvs to check out from there, cvs also has the -D keyword you can
use to update to a date string.  Using cvs is better, because you can
easily control it on the level of individual file revisions once you
get down to testing a few specific changes.  Setting up cvs and cvsup
are both documented on the freebsd website.

Basically, if you can iterate through different dates, halving the
date between the last kernel you know worked and the first kernel you
know did not, to push the boundaries down, it will narrow down the
range of commits that caused the problem.  

 I've tried a build without IPFILTER, and the problem still exists.
 I've also tried booting with ACPI disabled, and the problem is still
 there.

OK, that probably rules them out.

 I have attached a copy of my kernel config file, in case i'm doing
 something wrong.

Looked OK to me.

Try disabling ACPI.  ACPI is unable to route any of your PCI interrupts,
so all your PCI interrupts are hosed.  You can try to talk with the folks

 I hope you are aware that -CURRENT is experimental and at
 times can be extremely unstable.


Many thanks for your attention. I am a regular -current
user from at least 4 years, and I know what -current means.


 Also, NEWCARD is really
 not supposed to be used unless you are planning on working
 on it.


If nobody is using NEWCARD because of such warning, I wonder
when NEWCARD will be functionnal for joe user. Be aware that
I already tried the same NEWCARD kernel from a Sony Vaio and
another Dell.

 
  - with the 3Com 3C589, I cannot get anything from
  the network (ECHO packets are emitted, but
  nothing returns)
 
 Hmm, that's odd.


More precisely, ECHO packets are emitted from the NEWCARD
machine, ECHO reply are transmitted by the pinged host, but
nothing is received by the NEWCARD machine, which is typical
of an IRQ problem.

 
  - with a 3Com 3CCFE575BT-D (xl0) - which works like
  a charm with a Sony Vaio - I get lot of:
  xl0: watchdog timeout
  and all communications are sloow.
 
 I smell an IRQ conflict.
 

Many thanks for your helpful diagnostic ;-)

Pierre
