Hi I am experiencing packet loss and ENOBUFs, I have a program with with two tap(4) interfaces and i am using kqueue(2) to determine when and which tap interface to process the packet. I email bugs@ over a month ago with no reply https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=156229879107900&w=2 so i thought i would try here, paraphrased below.
Back Story: Over the last few years i have ported Solo5, used by MirageOS and others to run on OpenBSD's vmm(4). In Solo5 we have been working towards supporting multiple network interfaces and implemented this using kqueue(2) and tap(4). The Problem is demonstrated as follows. setting up two Tap interfaces, starting up the Unikernel(Solo5) on vmm. In another session flood pinging the first Tap interface, Solo5 handles this with no packets dropped. In another session ping the second Tap interface, then for every ping to the second interface a packet is dropped on the first. If you switch to a flood ping on the second tab interface, you will observe massive packet loss on both interfaces, and ping complaining about No buffer space available (ENOBUFS). see https://github.com/Solo5/solo5/issues/374 for more information. I have been able to reproduce this in a hacked up exampled program, available here https://github.com/adamsteen/test_net_2if. Please note this is hacked, generally butchered program, which demonstrates the problem. (if required i can try and clean up this test case) 01. git clone https://github.com/adamsteen/test_net_2if 02. cd test_net_2if 03. make 04. doas setup.sh (Setup up the Tap interfaces) 05. doas ./test_net_2if 06. in another seesion start a flood ping doas ping -f 10.0.0.2 07. Observe that the flood ping is functioning correctly, with no packets dropped. 08. In another session, start a normal ping ping 10.1.0.2 09. Observe that, for each ping sent to service1, a packet is dropped. 10. Kill the normal ping 11. start a flood ping doas ping -f 10.1.0.2 12. Observe massive packet loss on both interfaces, and ping complaining about No buffer space available (ENOBUFS). Cheers Adam ps Sorry for the poor english. dmesg: OpenBSD 6.5-current (GENERIC.MP) #123: Sat Jun 29 19:39:46 AWST 2019 ast...@x220.adamsteen.com.au:/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 17041059840 (16251MB) avail mem = 16514461696 (15749MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.6 @ 0xdae9c000 (64 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "8DET69WW (1.39 )" date 07/18/2013 bios0: LENOVO 4291N58 acpi0 at bios0: ACPI 4.0 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SLIC SSDT SSDT SSDT HPET APIC MCFG ECDT ASF!
