Crashes when reconnecting PPPoE repeatedly

[franco]

I was a bit afraid of that. Building with INVARIANTS in a release still crashes it pretty reliably in unrelated places. I'm not even sure I can do the debug thing without it due to other build requirements.

I have just had a PPPoE crash (typical), and do have a 1.96GB vmcore.0 crash file from the "production kernel" if it would help?

[franco]

Yes please. Do you have somewhere to stash it?


Cheers,
Franco

[franco]

PS: Compressing it should help with size a lot.

[craig]

I've popped it on WeTransfer - https://we.tl/t-QYw1eSa4pj let me know if there's any problems.

[franco]

Got it, thanks. Taking a look right away.


Cheers,

Just to also give a quick update: I had no crash on reconnect for the last three days and I don't want to provoke one so as not to change the conditions leading to the crash.
As said, sometimes the crashes happen for several days in a row and sometimes nothing happens for a week.  :o

Unfortunately I'm running into this gdb issue:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257036

I've checked all the gdb version we had down to 22.1 and all exhibit the same behaviour which either means the core file or the debug kernel file has a persistent issue.. it could be the size of the core file but that file size itself I wouldn't call problematic at first glance. :(

Is there an info.0 file still on your end? I might need that, but not sure.

I can't get useful information out of the core, e.g.:

# dmesg -M vmcore.0
dmesg: _amd64_minidump_vatop: virtual address 0x0 not minidumped
dmesg: kvm_read: invalid address (0x0)

# ps -M vmcore.0
ps: invalid address (0xffffffff82d10000)

etc.

I do - I backed up the entire folder

And we have a winner.  ;)
After 6 days it finally crashed again.

@franco: I sent a PM regarding the dump files.

This morning it crashed again (was still on 23.7.7_3) with this well known error:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 1; apic id = 02
fault virtual address = 0x10
fault code = supervisor read data, page not present

I've already submitted the full crash log.

[thatso]

Today I had another crash with the same error.  >:(

@franco: any insights on the debug logs yet?

[thatso]

The past few days had daily crashes and reboots BTW.

This is also still happening for me - I've been working through disabling functionality (shaper, jumbo frames etc) to try and figure it out, but it's a slow process.

It does look like IPv6 is going to be my next target though, as `ip6_tryforward()` is mentioned in the trace.
