Re: Using multiple interfaces (3+) causes intermittent system freezes on NetBSD 5.1_STABLE and later... [was: NetBSD 5 partly freezing, may be related to 802.1Q]



Here's a diff, which is a little icky: it's from a version of netbsd-6
in may to a version of netbsd-6 with the bnx fixes from march, but I
think it's pretty much what you want.

This diff is: 

  Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited

  This material is based upon work supported by the Defense Advanced Research
  Projects Agency and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific, under
  Contract No. N66001-09-C-2073.

and is the work of Bev Schwartz of BBN.

A commit message is some blend of:

    fix potential livelock problem
    
    If the bnx driver receives packets while there are no mbuf
    clusters to be obtained, the packet is thrown away and
    the mbuf cluster is recycled.  This change allows the
    packet to be processed and lets the receive ring slot
    go empty, to be refilled later.  The slot can be filled
    either by bnx_rx_intr processing a future packet, or
    by bnx_tick, which periodically tries to fill any
    empty slots in the receive ring.


    Fix memory overwrite in bnx receive ring
    
    In bnx_rx_intr, there are two places where the producer can get pushed
    ahead of the consumer. In the while (sw_cons != hw_cons) loop,
    there is a check for a packet whose layer 2 data has been corrupted,
    and a check for being able to allocate a new mbuf cluster to be
    placed in the receive queue. In both cases, if the test fails,
    the mbuf cluster that has just been removed from the receive ring
    buffer is put back, and the producer index is pushed forward. However,
    the consumer index is not pushed forward, so the next time around,
    the loop, the mbuf cluster is removed from where the consumer points,
    but a new (or recycled) mbuf cluster is put where the producer points.
    This overwrites the pointer to another mbuf cluster. The mbuf cluster is
    lost forever, and the receive buffer ends up filled with NULLs because
    the consumer and producer indices stay out of sync. Eventually all
    mbuf clusters are lost, and no more communication can happen over any
    interface.
    
    Instead of calling "continue" in each of these cases, a "goto" is
    used to leave the if conditional, but continue on with the processing
    in the loop.  This remaining processing in the loop is what pushes
    the consumer index forward.
    
    A KASSERT has been added to bnx_add_buf to check that any mbuf
    cluster put into the receive ring is actually going into an
    available slot.  This conditional was essential to finding
    this problem.


    bnx_tick now informs chip when the producer pointer has moved
    
    bnx_tick calls bnx_get_buf in case any slots in the receiver
    ring need to be filled with an mbuf cluster.  Before this
    fix, bnx_tick never communicated the change to the chip
    itself.  This can cause an interface freeze when the chip
    and the cpu get out of sync on where they each think the
    producer is pointing.  (The chip will think there are no
    buffers for receiving packets, and the cpu doesn't move
    along because its waiting for the chip to signal that
    there are new packets.)
    
    Added a counter to track how many times bnx_tick successfully
    acquires mbuf clusters.


    Update hw consumer index
    
    In bnx_rx_intr, there is a check to see if the chip has
    detected new incoming packets, and if so, update software
    counters and continue processing.  However, this code
    never actually pulled in the value from the chip which
    lets the cpu know if there's new work.  This fix adds
    a single statement which gets values from the chip.
