https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240106 Bug ID: 240106 Summary: VNET issue with ARP and routing sockets in jails Product: Base System Version: 12.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: john.westbrook@gmail.com I'm experiencing an intermittent connectivity issue running FreeBSD 12.0 wi= th jail using VNET, which appears to be related to lost ARP replies. There are several discussion threads on forums that appear related: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/vnet-arp-replies-are-lost.71082 https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/arp-replies-loss-in-vnet.77027 https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/jails-eero.59477 One insightful comment from the first thread: """On step #2 the reply is mistakenly padded with 14 bytes which is exactly= the number of bytes beyond the 18 bytes in the request (the request was padded = with 32 bytes). I bet this is part of the bug. By looking at FreeBSD ARP reply c= ode it actually creates the reply by editing the request bytes in place. For so= me reason it removes only 18 bytes from the request padding. However, this hap= pens only on VNET interface as noted above.""" I was able to see ARP traffic using tcpdump, but (arp -a) doesn't contain updated ARP entries. Also, in an affected jail, I can't add static arp entr= ies: # arp -s 10.0.0.1 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX arp: writing to routing socket: Cannot allocate memory whereas, in an unaffected jail the arp command succeeds. Jails are should h= ave access to routing sockets by default, so perhaps the problem is related to accessing routing sockets in VNET jails? The test setup where I'm observing this is using an SR-IOV VF (Chelsio cxlv= 0) passed into the jail (via vnet.interface in jail.conf). The test setup has = two jails each on two direct attached hosts. I observe the problem on both host= s, but it comes and goes with reboots. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
