[Bug 138611] Re: Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit
I notice a marked improvement when using the 2.6.23-rc6 kernel (kernel.org vanilla, compiled using the Master Kernel Thread @ UbuntuForums). My suggested solution is to use the sky2.c out of the vanilla kernel. The one in the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.22-11 reports "sky2 1.14". Type this to see your version. "sudo ethtool -i eth0" With 2.6.23 you get sky2 1.17. I suspect that there are missing patches in the Ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel (some were backported while others were not, when all needed to be backported at once). I think it needs to be sync'd with the vanilla kernel version. I am not certain that using 1.17 (from vanilla) is a solution but I think it is a good idea in general. The patches were committed to the mainstream kernel for good reason. Even if it doesn't solve my problems (which, so far, I think it has), it may solve others'. Sky2 is a fast- changing driver and all improvements need to be backported ASAP IMO, especially considering that sky2 hardly works for maybe 10% of those using it. And, sky2 supports a very popular network chipset on new computers (Marvell Yukon). I have attached a diff of the sky2.c from 2.6.23-rc6 and the one from the current Gutsy kernel. I think this is all that is needed for the changes. Here are the changes from 2.6.22-11 (Ubuntu) to 2.6.23-rc6, attached. I diff'd sky2.h and sky2.c and combined them into one diff file. I haven't tested compiling 2.6.22-11 with the new sky2 files yet (I have only compiled a 2.6.23-rc6 kernel) but I have a good feeling that sky2.c/sky2.h is where the problem lies. I hope to be able to test it myself very soon. Please consider this solution and it would be nice if others could test this patch so we can get it into the final Gutsy. You should be able to apply the patch like this. Keep Master Kernel Thread @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 handy. Save 2.6.22-11.32_sky2+2.6.23-rc6.patch (attached) to desktop. Prerequisite: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade". Reboot if there is a kernel update. Then follow these steps. If your kernel isn't exactly 2.6.22-11.32 then the patch should still work (unless there have been more modifications to sky2 since). 1. sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 2. cd /usr/src 3. tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2 4. Follow steps 1-3 at Master Kernel Thread (including getting in root). (Not step 4 because we have unpacked the Ubuntu linux source. Not step 5 because I have a modification.) 5. rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 linux && cd /usr/src/linux 6. patch -p2 < ~/Desktop/2.6.22-11.32_sky2+2.6.23-rc6.patch 7. Continue, starting from step 8 at Master Kernel Thread. You shouldn't need to go through any menu items because our current kernel is identical to the one we're compiling. For Step 10 it doesn't matter what revision you use, maybe something unique like "sky2" so it doesn't get confused with your current kernel. I hope this helps somebody compile an Ubuntu kernel w/ a new, fixed sky2. Most importantly, please report back if it works for you. Thank you.

Hi Leann, I can confirm this behaviour. Especially scp/scp -r on my local network kills eth0 after ~500MB (actually [50; 1000]MB). Happens with hardy based mythbuntu (should have the same kernel), zen- sources (see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-672773.html) (master, 2.6.24 based and master-devel, 2.6.25_rc based). So I'd say this is a generic sky2 kernel bug... Propably worth some lkml mails So yes, this is still happening all the time here :( But just under heavy network load. I can run skype, rsync to the internet, apt-get or surf the web for days (literally days, the box was running for 2 days without network problems - even compiling gentoo in a chroot worked (wget, rsync, ...)). I've tried to play around with ethtool but no real success, yet.

[Bug 138611] Re: Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit
Update NOAPIC (as mentioned on gentoo-wiki.com) didn't help. Patching the kernel with the original marvell driver (available via http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do ) didn't work. Changing the sysctl.conf (matching the senders sysctl) seemed to helped slightly, as well as playing around with ethtool. However I didn't get a stable connection with 100MBit. Odd. The best run was ~1GB till failure. I'll add a pci 100MBit card and recheck - I've added a new switch/device (wrt150n with dd-wrt) so I'll have to recheck my network's hardware Everything else was stable till now :( (transfering terrabytes of data) However I can confirm that the card seems to work like a charm at lower rates/higher latencies... Wired Happy hunting, I'm going to add a 100MBit card :( (this won't keep me from testing - the gbit card is onboard - asus p5k-vm for the record) Oh, my tests worked like this: "scp -r @192.168.1.66:/usr/src ./" /usr/src on the host machine is filled with 3 compiled kernels (make-kpkg buildpackage on all kernel trees).

I can reliably get my new system (XFX nForce 630i motherboard) with an integrated Marvell PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller to lock up HARD. All I have to do is FTP anything from another gigabit-equipped machine on my LAN, and the system instantly locks up requiring a hard reset. NFS transfers will also lock the system up. At slower speeds (i.e. pulling updates over the Internet) lockups are random. Once it locks up, only a hard reset will work. I'm running Hardy Beta, but I had this problem in Gutsy as well. I'm also having problems with corrupted packages in {us,uk,de}.archive.ubuntu.com - so I can't even successfully download the nVidia proprietary display drivers (and thus I'm not using them).

Hi Guys, There hasn't been any recent activity in this report and we were wondering if this is still an issue in the latest Hardy Alpha release. The Hardy Heron Alpha series contains an updated version of the kernel, version 2.6.24. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Also note that we will keep this report open against the actively developed kernel but this will be closed against 2.6.22.

Wilbur, if you're using a "desktop" (small) ethernet switch, power cycle it. It took me too long to realise that if one port negotiates down to 100Mb, it'll not run at higher speed until you powercycle the switch (found on at least 3 switches from 2 vendors).

As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.

Changing the sysctl.conf (matching the senders sysctl) seemed to helped slightly, as well as playing around with ethtool. However I didn't get a stable connection with 100MBit. Odd. The best run was ~1GB till failure. I'll add a pci 100MBit card and recheck - I've added a new switch/device (wrt150n with dd-wrt) so I'll have to recheck my network's hardware Everything else was stable till now :( (transfering terrabytes of data) However I can confirm that the card seems to work like a charm at lower rates/higher latencies... Wired Happy hunting, I'm going to add a 100MBit card :( (this won't keep me from testing - the gbit card is onboard - asus p5k-vm for the record) Oh, my tests worked like this: "scp -r @192.168.1.66:/usr/src ./" /usr/src on the host machine is filled with 3 compiled kernels (make-kpkg buildpackage on all kernel trees). Failure occured @ ~500MB (sometimes sooner, sometimes later). 192.168.1.66 is my laptop with 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) connected via <-- 100MBit/Patch cable --> <-- 100MBit/Patch cable --> <-- 100MBit/Cross --> I'll recheck the network chain with a 100MBit card - but I wouldn't expect a network problem Hope this helps. -- Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wilbur, if you're using a "desktop" (small) ethernet switch, power cycle it. It took me too long to realise that if one port negotiates down to 100Mb, it'll not run at higher speed until you powercycle the switch (found on at least 3 switches from 2 vendors).

As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.

Mine is detected like this in Gutsy too: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 4364 (rev 12) I can't remember how it was reported in Feisty. Setting to confirmed. This needs to be addressed and I know it's not just me. Should be at least medium priority, probably affects TONS of people with new motherboards. -- Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
