Note that the affected system has LRO turn on.
The system crashed on :
#7 [ffff88042d683d30] invalid_op at ffffffff817f900e
[exception RIP: vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete+3016]
which is referring to line 1353 in "drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c" :
0xffffffffc004e448 is in vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete
(drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c:1353).
1348 rcd->type == VMXNET3_CDTYPE_RXCOMP_LRO) {
1349 struct Vmxnet3_RxCompDescExt *rcdlro;
1350 rcdlro = (struct Vmxnet3_RxCompDescExt *)rcd;
1351
1352 segCnt = rcdlro->segCnt;
==> 1353 BUG_ON(segCnt <= 1);
1354 mss = rcdlro->mss;
1355 if (unlikely(segCnt <= 1))
1356 segCnt = 0;
1357 } else {
BUG_ON(condition) are used as a debugging help when something in the
kernel goes wrong.
The condition here execute BUG_ON if SegCnt is less or equal than (<=) 1.
SegCnt being the "Number of aggregated packets" :
# drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_defs.h
u8 segCnt; /* Number of aggregated packets */
Looking at the crashdump I can confirm that at the moment of the crash
SegCnt was set to 1 :
crash> * Vmxnet3_RxCompDescExt.segCnt ffff88042933ae00
segCnt = 1 '\001'
According to commit "50219538ffc0493a2b451a3aa0191138ef8bfe9d", segCnt
can be 1 for LRO packets and introduce the following change :
- BUG_ON(segCnt <= 1);
+ WARN_ON_ONCE(segCnt == 0);
