*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 137504 *** Reopening to keep one sky2 bug per user Sorry, I can't reproduce this bug on my home box right now. I run copying from Linux box to Windows box directory with movies (about 72G) and copying do not stop. I break this process about 50% of all files.
But - i found some strange thing:
test interface is eth1, and TX bytes value goes back from about 3G tranferred files! Please look at my ifconfig output

How soon were those ifconfigs invoked after each other? It is normal for the TX bytes counter to wrap around to 0 after it reaches a certain value. It's hard to say if that is what is happening with no idea of timing. (In reply to comment #5) > How soon were those ifconfigs invoked after each other? > The time interval was... about 10 - 30 seconds. I think I know how to reproduce this bug and I will run such test today. Initial conditions should include more than 2-3 copy sessions. Any news? gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r6 includes a new sky2 which may fix any problems you are still seeing. Thanks, I try to reproduce bug on gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r6 today on my home Linux box. Problem with gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r4 still reproduceable (sometimes). To reproduce: Try to copy data by portions (1-3G). At 3th or 4th session driver just stop all traffic on interface. I can't reproduce this problem if I try to copy files in single session. looks like fixed sky2 gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r6 nerff ~ # modinfo sky2 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/sky2.ko description: Marvell Yukon 2 Gigabit Ethernet driver author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> license: GPL version: 1.6 vermagic: 2.6.17-gentoo-r6 preempt mod_unload K8 REGPARM gcc-4.1 WFM using sky2 1.6 driver. Network speed about 10000 Kb/s (+|- 350). All works just fine, thanks. P.S. I can't run valid load-testing, sorry. It's home box, not server. OK - thanks for letting us know. reopen I had run to backup all windows box on samba share (about 40G). While data restoring from winbox, networking is unusable again. Sorry for poor english :( Please reproduce with 2.6.17-r8 (In reply to comment #12) > Please reproduce with 2.6.17-r8 > Hello, exactly the same problem here. Kernel is 2.6.17-r8. The NIC hangs when under load. Disabling "CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC" in the kernel .config fixed the problem for me. Hope this is helpful. Ludek Stepan Please retest with gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r1 Add this patch as well: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=116138920228073&q=raw Ok, I'll run some tests this week. Please reopen if this is still a problem sorry for my absence :( reopen for: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/net/sky2.ko description: Marvell Yukon 2 Gigabit Ethernet driver author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> license: GPL version: 1.10 vermagic: 2.6.19-gentoo-r2 mod_unload K8 REGPARM Reproduced on data copying from DVD-9 disk (files ~ 1G). See also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6839 workaround (Comment #12) and work patch (Comment #55) here also reload sky2 module is workaround Why it still exists in stable hardened ??? Bug appear here too :( kernel: 2.6.18-hardened Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller Should be better in gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r2, please reopen if that is not the case but what about hardened kernel ? File a new bug with them if you have confirmed that the newer driver does solve your problem and they can then consider backporting it sorry but I can't check it now we change ethernet card to intel at this server but when I try different version of hardened sources 2 months ago - problem exists I try 2.6.18-hardened and 2.6.19-hardened-r5 |
