next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am seeing the em driver on 7.0 sending packets with bad UDP (and
apparently sometimes IP) packet length fields. This is from UDP NFS
traffic (90MB/sec over gige). These packets are dropped on reception by
the kernel and counted.
Here is a tcpdump trace showing some bad packets:
17:50:27.912629 IP bad-len 0
17:50:27.912748 IP bad-len 0
17:50:27.912764 IP bad-len 0
I havent yet caught a better tcpdump of the UDP bad packets but they are
logged by netstat -s
hydra1# netstat -s -p udp
udp:
120091992 datagrams received
0 with incomplete header
1775 with bad data length field
^^^^
14840 with bad checksum
0 with no checksum
16 dropped due to no socket
258 broadcast/multicast datagrams undelivered
0 dropped due to full socket buffers
0 not for hashed pcb
120075103 delivered
120190737 datagrams output
0 times multicast source filter matched
Disabling txcsum and rxcsum didnt help.

The second-order effect from this is that our NFS client currently
misbehaves when UDP packets are dropped, and this leads to data corruption.
