Running recent CURRENT (FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #5 r311919: Wed Jan 11 08:24:28
CET 2017 amd64), the system freezes when doing a rsync over automounted
(autofs) NFSv4 filesystem, mounted from another CURRENT server (same revision,
but with BCM NICs).
The host in question is a Fujitsu Celsius M740 equipted with an Intel NIC:
[...]
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection> port 0xf020-0xf03f mem
0xfb300000-0xfb31ffff,0xfb339000-0xfb339fff at device 25.0 numa-domain 0 on
pci1 em0: attach_pre capping queues at 1 em0: using 1024 tx descriptors and
1024 rx descriptors em0: msix_init qsets capped at 1
em0: Unable to map MSIX table
em0: Using an MSI interrupt

The pciconf output reveals:

I have a customized kernel. The NIC has revealed itself all the time as an
"emX" device (never as igbX). The kernel contains device netmap (if
relevevant).
The phenomenon:
Syncing a poudriere repository between to remote hosts, I use rsync on a NGSv4
exported filesystem, mounted via AUTOFS. So far, this work two days ago
perfectly. Since yesterday, syncing brings down the network connection - the
connection is simply dead. Terminating the rsync, bringing em0 down and up
again doesn't help much, for short moments, the connection is established, but
dies within seconds. Restarting via "service netif restart" all network
services have the same effect: after the desaster, it is impossible for me to
bring back the NIC/connection to normal, I have to reboot. The same happens
when having heavy network load, but it takes a time and even rsync isn't
"deadly" within the same timeframe - it takes sometimes a couple of seconds,
another takes only one or two seconds to make the connection die.
I checked with dd'ing a large file over that connection, it takes several
seconds then to make the connection freezing (so, someone could reproduce iy
not ncessarily using rsync).
Kind regards,
