Thanks for the pointer (PR 232463 was already mentioned in private 
communications).

As I said above, there is a symlink in /dev. But geom eli is not aware of any 
aliases/links which breaks EBR eli entries in /etc/fstab.

After reading the summary of D24939, I'm not sure if this behavior is 
intentional.

13.0: partiton names changed

2021-04-10 Thread Stefan Ehmann
I've just updated an old machine from 12.2 to 13.0
(ea31abc261ffc01b6ff5671bffb15cf910a07f4b)

Attaching the /home EBR partition gave me this puzzling error:

# geli attach ada0s5
Enter passphrase:
geli: Provider not found: "ada0s5"
geli: There was an error with at least one provider.

Further investigation showed that there is a symlink from /dev/ada0s5 to
ada0s4+0001 but geom doesn't recognize ada0s5 anymore.

Didn't find anything about it in the release notes:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/relnotes/

I guess EBR is no longer in wide use, but this is an old installation, as
already mentioned.

Finally did a git bisect:
283c76c7c3f2f634f19f303a771a3f81fe890cab is the first bad commit

There is PR 252449 where sysctl net.inet.tcp.tolerate_missing_ts was
introduced.

tolerate_missing_ts should only be necessary for communicating with broken TCP
stacks, as far as I understand. I think there's another problem because I'm
also seeing this issue using epair devices.

Yes. If I remove the deny rule, the connection is still working after the
dynamic rule expired.

Thanks so far. I'll try some more testing on different hardware over the
weekend.

Initially, I've seen the problem on epair(4) devices. That should rule out
network hardware issues.

I've never seen this problem on 12.2 but I hope I can avoid a git bisect from
there.

[...]

Repeated my tests with tcpdump on remote host.

What I see: First the timer goes down to ~20s and is reset to 300s (as
expected). The remote host sees a keep-alive-packet at that point.

On second run, there's no keep-alive packet seen on the remote host.
Timer expires and rule is removed. Expected at this point since there was no
keep-alive exchange.

The connection is still working at this point (deny rule was deleted).

I'm on releng/13.0 (just updated to 0b54d2764737).

There are some additional commits in stable/13 (including sys/net). I can try
stable later.

13.0-BETA1: ipfw regression?

2021-02-09 Thread Stefan Ehmann
I'm having issues with stale TCP connections after the upgrade from 12.2 to
13.0-BETA1.

Symptoms:
Outgoing TCP connections no longer receive data after being idle.

I can do more testing later, but I think these ipfw rules trigger the problem:
- check-state
- allow tcp from me to any setup keep-state
- deny ip from any to any

After establishing an outgoing connection (e.g, via netcat), I see a new
dynamic rule and the 300s counter running down via
# ipfw -Da list

net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keepalive is set to 1, so the timer should be refreshed via
keep-alive on idle connections.

Don't know if it's deterministic, but from what I've seen so far:
- When counter gets low the first time, it is reset to 300 as expected.
- When the counter nears zero for the second time, the dynamic rule is deleted
and I get ipfw denies.

Just a short update:
I've tested the port with a different WU and everything seems normal. Speed is
comparable to Linux and multi-core also works as expected.

My previous problems can probably be ignored, not sure what the problem
actually was.

I'm pretty sure now that libOpenCL is only relevant for GPU slots.

I couldn't reproduce that the presence of libOpenCL.so has any effect on CPU
slots. Didn't make much sense anyway, something else must have been going on.
So there's probably no point in getting OpenCL to run on FreeBSD until we have
GPU rendering.

The numbers displayed by FAHControl are rather strange:
* There is no discernible difference in speed if 1 or all CPU cores are used
(but top shows that 600% CPU cycles are burned) - happens on both Ubuntu and
Linuxolator
* According to the progress bar, Ubuntu completes 1% per minute, but
Linuxolator only 0.1% (for the same work unit)

Don't know if the numbers displayed are bogus or there is really that much of
a difference. Maybe the issue is only related to a specific WU or to AMD-CPUs.

I've also tried https://fahbench.github.io/ but it's mainly targeted at GPUs
and uses a different Core.

Unfortunately, (using a CPU slot for the same work unit) TPF is 2-3 times
slower than on Ubuntu for me. Much of the speed difference seems to be related
to libOpenCL. If remove libOpenCL on Ubuntu, it's still 20-30% faster than on
FreeBSD.

Don't know how stable the TPF numbers are, so numbers may be bogus.

Will a CPU slot also use the GPU with libOpenCL or is it just using better
optimized code? I tried to install libOpenCL but all I get is:
OpenCL: Not detected: clGetPlatformIDs() returned -1001

Since there's no CUDA support for FreeBSD, I guess there is no point in trying
getting GPU slots to work.

bsdtar: xz threads support disabled

Is there any reason why bsdtar is built without XZ multi-threading support?

It's not documented in the man page, so maybe it's an experimental feature.

Can be tested with this command:
tar -Jcf /dev/null --options xz:threads=4 $HOME

After setting HAVE_LZMA_STREAM_ENCODER_MT, it works as expected:

Re: Good motherboard for Ryzen (first-gen)

I would like to build a Ryzen desktop.  Can anyone recommend a good

I'm planning on a first-gen, because the second-gen has similar 
stability problems as the first-gen had, and AMD hasn't released errata 
for the second-gen yet (as far as I know...I would love to be wrong).


I would like to be a cool kid with a Threadripper, but I can't justify 
the cost, so I'm thinking maybe a Ryzen 7 with /only/ 8 cores.  :)


Running Ryzen 7 2700 with Asus X470-PRO. No major problems so far.

Minor issues:
- powerd/amdtemp don't work correctly, I'll probably retest when 12-BETA 
is out

- Linuxolator doesn't work (as petefrench pointed out)
- Had a crash while backing up to external HDD but pretty sure the 
problem was a bad SATA connection


The system does a lot of poudriere builds. Cannot comment on long-time 
stability, system is off at night.



Ideally, I want an Intel NIC, ECC memory support, and a 3-year warranty.


Board has an Intel igb NIC. According to the vendor "ECC support varies 
by CPU". But only found reports of ECC not working, not a single success 
story.


The X370 board is a bit cheaper. Went for X470 because X370 boards may 
require firmware update for 2nd gen Ryzen.

This should fix creation of the unkillable processes, but untested.

After that, if wine still does not work, you need to look exactly
what breaks, perhaps using ktrace.  Most likely there would be some
unsuccessfull mmap(2) syscall.


The patch fixes the issue. No problems so far, but only tested simple 
applications.


Thank you for the quick fix.

11.1-RC2 breaks wine, creates unkillable process

2017-07-08 Thread Stefan Ehmann

After upgrade from stable (r319967) to RC-2 (r320783) wine stops working.

The process gets stuck before there is any console output. It uses 100% 
CPU and is not killable.


I'd guess the stack guard changes broke wine, but I haven't done any 
investigation yet.


The wine package was built by poudriere on 11.0.

Hi,

FYI- that bug is only tangentially related, but I've updated my patch
to also address it while I'm in the neighborhood of where this problem
was.  See Comment #5 if you're interested in a more detailed
explanation.


Thanks a lot for taking care of this bug.
bsdgrep now works for my testcase.

As a side note:
On 11.0-RELEASE (GNU) grep in base suffers the same bug. I tried version 
2.20 on Debian which works correctly. But I assume it won't get updated 
due to GPLv3.


Makes me wonder if we still need two grep variants in base.

unexpected grep -o behavior

2016-11-27 Thread Stefan Ehmann
When I try to match the first character of a line grep also matches all
subsequent characters:

$ echo 123 | grep -o '^.'
1
2
3

Same with bsdgrep.
grep from ports works as expected:

$ echo 123 | /usr/local/bin/grep -o '^.'
1

Tested on 11.0.

Character classes work fine for [a-z], but I don't know of a simple way
to match a range like [a-k].

Personally, I prefer the "Rational Range Interpretation" because it
doesn't break backward compatibility and is still standard compliant.

I found an interesting article about this issue in gawk:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Ranges-and-Locales.html

Apparently the meaning of ranges is unspecified outside the "C" locale.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html#tag_09_03_05
says:

"In the POSIX locale, a range expression represents the set of collating
elements that fall between two elements in the collation sequence,
inclusive. In other locales, a range expression has unspecified
behavior: strictly conforming applications shall not rely on whether the
range expression is valid, or on the set of collating elements matched"

CPU utilization calculation broken with SCHED_ULE and dummynet

2008-10-31 Thread Stefan Ehmann
Already posted this earlier this month and filed as kern/128177.

Short summary: top/ps displays 0% instead of 100% CPU usage for CPU-intensive 
processes. single-threaded process on single-CPU i386 machine.

I think this also negatively effects scheduling decisions but haven't found a 
good way to test this.


I did some more investigations today:

The problem only occurs when the dummynet module is loaded. If I unload the 
module everything seems fine. It's enough if the module is loaded, no rules 
involving dummynet are needed.

If I revert 1.214.2.7 (SVN rev 183294) the problem is gone.

Already noted earlier:
I don't see the problem in CURRENT on the same machine. This might be due to 
different configurations though.

If I run the process with idletime priority, I don't see the problem either.

SCHED_4BSD is not affected.


Hope these findings help fixing the problem.

Thanks,
Stefan

ipfw uid regression

2008-09-13 Thread Stefan Ehmann
I've updated from 7.0 to RELENG_7 today.

ipfw uid rules have caused problems in the past with PREEMPTION enabled. 
This was fixed in 7.0, at least for me.

In RELENG_7 the old problems are back: Total freeze within some 
seconds/minutes after the first network access.

With WITNESS I get a LOR, see at the end of dmesg.

 That's normal.  FreeBSD uses nearly all free memory for
 buffer cache and other kinds of caches.

   I killed most processes but memory usage remains high.

 How do you measure memory usage?  The numbers from top(1)
 are mostly meaningless.  Personally I think top should be
 removed from FreeBSD, because it confuses many people (in
 fact I think _most_ people don't interpret the numbers
 correctly), but some people seem to be in love with it. :-)
Obviously I'm one of those people that got it wrong.

My mistake was to think that a memory page is moved to the inactive/cache list 
automatically if it's not used for a longer time. But if I got it correctly 
now, this only happens when there's some kind of memory shortage and the 
pageout daemon is not sleeping.

Now that I think I understand it better, those numbers also seem okay to 
me. :)

What got me suspicious at first was that the systems sometimes started to swap 
although there should have been more than enough memory to fit all processes 
in physical memory. But I see this is also in the FAQ.

Thanks for all your help and hints.

Possible memory leak?

2007-03-18 Thread Stefan Ehmann
Sometimes I'm noticing very high memory usage. Nearly my whole memory (1GB) is 
used although I'm running my usual set of processes - normally memory usage 
is much lower.

I killed most processes but memory usage remains high.

Summing the VSZ values of the ps aux output gives about 34MB. top reports 
316MB active memory.

Where did my memory go? Are there any tools for debugging this?

I don't know what's causing this. I'm using the snd_envy24 driver from 
current, but I think I've seen the problem also when not using sound.

dmesg/ps/top output can be found here:
http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0125637/fbsd/

If needed, I can provide more details.

 This is a FAQ.  free memory is wasted memory.

Sorry for the noise. I somehow thought that's only true for inactive/cache 
memory and active is different - but obviously I was wrong.

USB (sane) stability issues

2006-04-06 Thread Stefan Ehmann
I recently acquired a CanoScan LiDE 60.

It basically works but it is very unstable: It often stops during the
scan and sane returns an error, or it just hangs during the scan (making
ugly noises). The only remedy is to re-plug the usb cable. (which
sometimes causes a panic)

I tried on my notebook which is running a recent current. It works
flawlessly there - not a single error so far.

So I upgraded my main computer to 6.1-PRERELEASE but the problem
persists:

- Are there any usb/ehci fixes in CURRENT that haven't made it to
6-stable yet? (I really don't want to update the machine that's making
troubles to current)

- Or is this more likely to be chipset related (the notebook dmesg shows
Intel 82801DB/L/M (ICH4) USB 2.0 controller vs VIA on the computer
that causes troubles)

Also, it occured to me that this could be power related - the scanner
doesn't require an external power suppply. I tried different USB ports
but didn't notice any difference.

dmesg can be found here:

TIA,
Stefan

 I recently acquired a CanoScan LiDE 60.
 
 It basically works but it is very unstable: It often stops during the
 scan and sane returns an error, or it just hangs during the scan (making
 ugly noises). The only remedy is to re-plug the usb cable. (which
 sometimes causes a panic)
 
 I tried on my notebook which is running a recent current. It works
 flawlessly there - not a single error so far.
 
 So I upgraded my main computer to 6.1-PRERELEASE but the problem
 persists:
 
 - Are there any usb/ehci fixes in CURRENT that haven't made it to
 6-stable yet? (I really don't want to update the machine that's making
 troubles to current)
 
 - Or is this more likely to be chipset related (the notebook dmesg shows
 Intel 82801DB/L/M (ICH4) USB 2.0 controller vs VIA on the computer
 that causes troubles)
 
 Also, it occured to me that this could be power related - the scanner
 doesn't require an external power suppply. I tried different USB ports
 but didn't notice any difference.
 
 dmesg can be found here:
