Looks like that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is also affected.

2013-09-24 Thread Serge Hallyn
Hi,

In order to figure out what broke or fixed this, it would be great
if we could bisect.  Unfortunately the irqbalance svn and git repos
don't seem to have any version numbers prior to 1.0.0, so it's a
bit tough to tell which versions we should be checking.  Fortunately,
the package seems to build quite easily from git.  Unfortunately
(again), I don't have any hardware I would be able to reproduce this
on.  So I will place here the basic recipe to build a package from
a particular git version.

I would recommend trying the following to versions as baselines:
commit 0b917bd98c684878b2730f3a57e15d7c6149daff (Sep 24 16:26:44 2010)
commit d7ef8fca9edf24a543f88073a01edb476c295256 (Fri Dec 2 11:06:14 2011 -0500)

Hopefully the first will reproduce the bug, and the second not.  If
that is the case, then you can proceed with a bisect between those
versions.  (Please ask here if you need more instructions on that)
There are only 85 commits so that should take about 8 steps to
bisect.

You will need to grab a irqbalance git tree, and grab the packaging
tree.

git clone https://code.google.com/p/irqbalance
pull-lp-source irqbalance quantal

Now, clone a new git tree in which you'll do the build:

git clone irqbalance build
cd build

Go into the build directory, and checkout the version to test:

git checkout -b test
git reset --hard 0b917bd98c684878b2730f3a57e15d7c6149daff

Run autoconf:
sh autogen.sh

Copy the packaging,

cp -a ../irqbalance-1.0.3/debian .

This is optional, but you may want to edit the changelog to give yourself an
easily recognizable version.  Run

dch -i

which pulls the changelog up in your $EDITOR, with the first lines
looking like:

 irqbalance (1.0.3-1ubuntu3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
 
 *

 -- Serge Hallyn serge.hal...@ubuntu.com  Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:00:23 -0500

Edit the version number and release, and add a message, so that it looks
like:

 irqbalance (1.0.3-1ubuntu3bisect1) precise; urgency=low
 
 * Build from commit 0b917bd98c684878b2730f3a57e15d7c6149daff

 -- Serge Hallyn serge.hal...@ubuntu.com  Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:00:23 -0500

Save that and exit the editor.

Finally build the package:

debian/rules build  fakeroot debian/rules binary

Now you can install the packages and test:

cd ..
dpkg -i irqbalance_1.0.3-1ubuntu3bisect1_amd64.deb

I'm assuming this bug is in the irqbalance, and not the kernel?

But have we tried one of the newer point releases (like 12.04.2 LTS)
which is based on the Q HWE kernel?

@Scott,

What would be the next step to fix the irqbalance in 12.04?

Thanks vikrant.
  So it appears that the bug is only in 12.04 released version of irqbalance 
(mentioned fixed in 0.55+20091017-3ubuntu2 of oneiric and 1.0.3-1ubuntu2 of 
quantal).

Ran the network test for over 72 hours with the latest Ubuntu irqbalance
package v 1.0.3 (quantal)and no tx unit hang was seen. Line rate was
obtained on all interfaces.

2013-09-05 Thread Samantha Jian-Pielak
Comment from Vikrant: 
With Ubuntu 12.04, we see TX hang and exceptions on running network traffic.

This is seen particularly on Intel platforms.

The issue seems to arise because of the fact that irqbalance does not
balance the interrupts evenly across all available cores. Ubuntu 12.04
uses 0.56-1ubuntu4 irqbalance package.

As a workaround, we tried to use the irqbalance package from an older
version of Ubuntu, namely 0.55+20091017-3ubuntu2, and it worked very
well. We see the full expected performance and there are no TX hangs or
exceptions. The interrupts seem to be spread evenly across all cores.
