tg3 driver freezes network randomly

[Jouni Karlsson]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic

Ubuntu 8.04
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic

The network randomly freezes with in-kernel tg3 driver. Sometimes it can be fixed by reloading the tg3 driver by "rmmod tg3 && modprobe tg3", otherwise its reboot time. Kernel is loaded with default boot parameters (ie. no noapic/nolapic/noacpi etc.)

relevant dmesg snip:

I can confirm this issue ; Ubuntu 8.04 with the default latest updates (kernel 2.6.24-17-generic)
Happened twice so far at seemingly random moments. Suddenly no network connectivity whatsoever. rmmod && modprobe seems to remedy the problem.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

The Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . It contains the 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test and verify if this is still an issue. The status is being set to Incomplete until we receive further feedback. Thanks.

[Lowell Alleman (lowell-alleman)]

I'm running into this issue as well with the latest 8.04 kernel upgrade, 2.6.24-21-generic. I have experience this failure twice after upgrading from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21 over the weekend. (I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or related to the 2.6.24-21 upgrade.)

In between these to failures I removed the t3g module and reloaded it, and ran "
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", which restored network access for a few minutes before it failed again. I have rebooted and select the 2.6.24-19-generic kernel image and have not seen this problem again so far.

I am not ready to upgrade to 8.10 at this point, and am hoping that since that 8.04 is a LTS release, more effort would be given to resolve the problem in the current release (e.g. providing a backported a fix if one is found)

Before any fix can be considered for a Stable Release Update for Hardy - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates it needs to be confirmed as fixed in the actively developed kernel. If you could test and confirm this is still an issue with the latest pre-release of Jaunty that would be greatly appreciated - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ . Thanks.

[Robstarusa (rob-naseca)]

I have had BCM5752 (rev 02) issues with LACP + cisco switches & the newest driver at http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_desktop.php fixes it.

Might this not fix other problems as well?

intrepid and 64bit

Linux obelix 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There's no way to have a stable network with the default kernel ant tg3 driver.
The hw is a hp 6715s so i load the kernel as suggested with the option noapic.

Is there something i could try to let your catch the defect?

best regards

[Mark Smulders (ms-tbwb)]

It seems to be stable on 32bit. I haven't seen the crashes for a long time now.

Cheers
