Bug#892105: linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64: i40e driver still unstable

[Harald Wilhelmi]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.82-1+deb9u3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

After rebooting the system with a new Kernel we see various problems
with i40e driver. Usually the problems start to occure within one day
or so under load. The last time we got the error messages shown below,
while the NIC seemed to stop processing some(?) packages. tcpdump
suggested that the machine received packages but either failed to
forward them or to send out the responses. With older Kernels we have
seen also Panics.

Our usual solution is to install a i40e driver from Intel (version
1.6.42 works nice for us). Please note that this is the only driver
taining our kernel - as a workaround.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

I am in a similar circumstance. After a few days of moderate operation, it
appears packets can be transmitted, but tcpdump does not see the ingress
packet. The IRQs may have issues?

I did some troubleshooting with a network appliance vendor in whose devices
these cards are installed.

Their comments are to use a more current kernel, and to use Intel's drivers
from their e1000 sourceforge site. The i40e driver in a more current kernel
may operate better. Debian Stretch has 4.14 in stretch-backports.

I see many many commits to the i40e module between the 4.9 and 4.14 kernel
versions. Maybe the issue has been solved in a more recent kernel/module
incarnation. And/Or use the intel (tainted) module/driver. I am persuing
both: install the stretch-backports kernel (which provides additional
iproute2 functions as a bonus), plus install the separate intel i40e driver.
I am testing my auto-build scripts to suit the new requirements.

What the real problem is with the driver, I do not know. The above is my
version of a workaround.

Run into a similar issues with i40e. I found out that the i40e driver
included in linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 drops ARP requests randomly if the
interface is not configured into promiscuous mode (e.g. tcpdump
running). Therefore if the switch / router expires or invalidates its
arp cache, the system may not be reachable until the next ARP request
will get randomly accepted & answered.

Workaround:
- Set up a static arp entry on the switch / router

Solution:
- Compile the current i40e driver from the Intel website, where the
issue does not occur, in my case: 2.4.10

I did not test stretch-backports so far.

We have the same problem here with the newest Stretch 4.9 kernel. When using a secondary IP address the i40e driver starts to randomly ignore ARP requests and makes the system unreachable for the rest of the network.
Upgrading to a backport kernel (4.19) with newer 4.19 driver fixes the problem.

Is there a change to backport a fix into 4.9 stable? I40e is a very widely used driver for Intel NICs.

Greetings,
Dominik

Hi,

Can anyone of the affected users -- if feasible -- try to help on
isolating the issue?

https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-bugs.html#s9.1.5
and
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-bugs.html#s9.2.1
can give some help to isolate the fixing change.

Regards,
Salvatore

Hi,

We've faced the same issue with Debian Stretch. i40e driver with version 1.6.16 silently dropped ARP packets while not `promisc on` enabled on target interface. Update to linux-image-4.19 from backports (i40e driver comes with version 2.3.2) repository fixed this issue.

Thanks for comments and suggested workaround.

Please provide a working backport, that you have tested works properly,
as it does not apply cleanly.
