In bge_rxeof(), there can end up being a condition which causes
the driver to endlessly interrupt.
if (bge_newbuf_std(sc, sc->bge_std, NULL) == ENOBUFS) {
ifp->if_ierrors++;
bge_newbuf_std(sc, sc->bge_std, m);
continue;
}
happens. Now, bge_newbuf_std returns ENOBUFS. 'm' is also NULL.
This causes the received packet to not be dequeued, and the driver
will then go straight back into interrupt as the chip will
reassert the interrupt as soon as we return.
Suggestions on a fix?
I'm not sure why I ran out of mbufs, I have
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 90000
kern.ipc.nmbufs: 280000
(kgdb) p/x mbstat
$11 = {m_mbufs = 0x3a0, m_clusters = 0x39c, m_spare = 0x0, m_clfree = 0x212,
m_drops = 0x0, m_wait = 0x0, m_drain = 0x0, m_mcfail = 0x0, m_mpfail =
0x0,
m_msize = 0x100, m_mclbytes = 0x800, m_minclsize = 0xd5, m_mlen = 0xec,
m_mhlen = 0xd4}
but bge_newbuf_std() does this:
if (m == NULL) {
MGETHDR(m_new, M_DONTWAIT, MT_DATA);
if (m_new == NULL) {
return(ENOBUFS);
}
and then returns ENOBUFS.
This is with 4.7-RELEASE.
