I could isolate the igb watchdog timeout problem a bit.
It only happens on nics which take the PCH-PCIe route. Nics that are
connected to the CPU's PCIe root complex never show this issue.

Currently, I suffer from one unresponsible nic which shows the following
states:
dev.igb.1.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 2.4.0
dev.igb.1.%driver: igb
dev.igb.1.%location: slot=3D0 function=3D0 handle=3D\_SB_.PCI0.PE70.S1F0

dev.igb.1.interrupts.tx_queue_min_thresh: 0
dev.igb.1.interrupts.rx_desc_min_thresh: 0
dev.igb.1.interrupts.rx_overrun: 0

The dev.igb.1.link_irq value doesn't really make sense, does it?

The rest isn't unusual, just shows the watchdog timeout problem becaus
of dev.igb.1.queue0.no_desc_avail I guess.

I manually adjusted:
hw.igb.num_queues: 2
hw.igb.rx_process_limit: 250
hw.igb.rxd: 4096
hw.igb.txd: 4096

Like mentioned, the nics not going through PCH-PCIe don't show this
problem, falsified.

This is the regular timeout interval for the last 24h (~3 minutes):
Feb 11 17:26:53 vega kernel: igb1: Watchdog timeout -- resetting
Feb 11 17:26:53 vega kernel: igb1: Queue(911600000) tdh =3D 2068077355, h=
w
tdt =3D 397078446
Feb 11 17:26:53 vega kernel: igb1: TX(911600000) desc avail =3D 0,Next TX=

to Clean =3D 0
Feb 11 17:26:53 vega kernel: igb1: link state changed to DOWN
Feb 11 17:26:56 vega kernel: igb1: link state changed to UP
Feb 11 17:26:56 vega devd: Executing '/etc/rc.d/dhclient quietstart igb1'=

Feb 11 17:30:10 vega kernel: igb1: Watchdog timeout -- resetting
Feb 11 17:30:10 vega kernel: igb1: Queue(911600000) tdh =3D 2068077355, h=
w
tdt =3D 397078446
Feb 11 17:30:10 vega kernel: igb1: TX(911600000) desc avail =3D 0,Next TX=

to Clean =3D 0
Feb 11 17:30:10 vega kernel: igb1: link state changed to DOWN
Feb 11 17:30:13 vega kernel: igb1: link state changed to UP

But these resets don't bring the interface back into a working state :-(
"Queue" value remains constant, but "tdh" and "tdt" vary from time to
time, for example:
igb1: Queue(911600000) tdh =3D -337225283, hw tdt =3D 398180458

Unfortunately I don't know what they stand for. Is there an explanation
for people who don't just look for it in the drivers code?
Any idea where the problem could be?

Thanks,

-Harry
