Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

And remember to run a newer Kernel >= 5.5.0. Just found: https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg443520.html
Another netdev resource locking issue fixed. big_smile

Hello:

No.
I have never seen it happen twice in a row.
And like I mentioned, I have gone for well over a fortnight without one.

I see.

In this case the netdev resource on shutdown.

If you say so.

We'll see when the next bad shutdown comes along.

Well ...

That's interesting.
I wonder if these patches will get backported to Beowulf?

BTW: I just noticed that this thread has had an unusual following.

Thank you very much for your help (and patience) in getting this sorted out.
Much obliged.

Hopefully, the next bad shutdown will give you the clues you are looking for to write a definite patch.
And maybe send it up for it to become e1000e v3.8.8.   8^)

I'll report results the moment I get them.

Best,

A.

Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

Sadly, I overlooked one function that is called in the shutdown process... in src/netdev.c. There are these functions involved: e1000e_close (netdev callback seen early in your screen capture), e1000_remove and e1000_shutdown (pci device callbacks). In e1000_shutdown, it seems that the call to e1000e_pm_freeze is just superfluous. Other shutdown callbacks handle it; without that funny unprotected call to the netdev detach function. It seems that this call can safely be removed. I will do a V3 for debug messages, tomorrow. big_smile

Just use the kernel from beowulf-backports and you are good. smile

Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

Yah, faster than for my own good. cool

Now, better naming and to have a complete list, these files may be applied:
https://geki.selfhost.eu/hacks/0001-e10 … bled.patch
https://geki.selfhost.eu/hacks/0002-e10 … s_v3.patch
https://geki.selfhost.eu/hacks/0003-e10 … eeze.patch

As a reminder for me:
- Patch 0001 needs default disabled globally, default enabled for EEE featured devices.
- In the end, remove all debug messages again, e heh.

Hello:

Whatever time zone that is ... 8^D

geki wrote:

Right ...

Sorry if I seem dumb:

These three patches are to be applied, successively one after the other to the original v. 3.8.7 downloaded from Intel.
Right?

So that ...
3.8.7 + P_param => 3.8.7p
3.8.7p + P_netdev => 3.8.7q
3.8.7q + P_freeze => 3.8.7r

Is this correct or have I missed something?

Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

JFYI, that  warning is not mine. big_smile And that EEE TX LPI TIMER message is actually good. NULL means nothing active. cool That is just a debug message, e heh, they did not remove yet.

Hello:

Did not think so.
I expect that it is from Makefile.
Because: ISO C90, mixed declarations, code, syntax?

NULL means nothing active.

I thought the value 00000000 meant the timer was active and at that point in the process had reached a value of nought.
Rather misleading.

I see ...
Left over from the original primary Intel driver e1000e module code?
Seems very sloppy. 8^/

Right.
If all is well up to now (sort of got the hang of it), booting with e1000e_3.8.7+*.patch 1000-4000 and shutting down in a standard manner, then we just have to wait.

I'll post back as soon as I get something.

Thank you so very much for your help.

Best,

A.

Humm, I'll have to check where  that EEE TX LPI TIMER message comes from.... not from the pci shutdown callback.

I looked into all the files in /src, these had references to LPI:

	pr_info("EEE TX LPI TIMER: %08X\n",          # <--- | x |

				retval = e1e_wphy_locked(hw, I82579_LPI_CTRL,
groucho@devuan:/usr/src/e1000e-3.8.7/src$

Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

Humm, I got confused. big_smile It is just right, that that message pops up there.... Though, your last screenshot of shutdown did not show any of the "PCI REMOVE" debug messages. Is that screenshot taken with the very latest patched moule build?

OK.

geki wrote:

I did didn't compare them. (sorry, typo)

geki wrote:

Yes.

Just checked.
The time stamp on the video frame is 20210503 at 19:14 local time.
The only patching that day.

The sequence starts at 291.441602 and ends at 292.649208.
Same as what I uploaded to postimages.org

To keep tabs on myself, I posted the sequence of the patching taken directly from the tty1 output and did not change the *.patch file names.
To make sure everything was truly uncontaminated, I used a freshly unpackaged content of e1000e-3.8.7.tar.gz.

Want me to check something in particular?

Thanks in advance.

A.

Then I better use the other print function. That one hopeefully prints something on pci remove.

Looks like the PCI REMOVE debug messages only show up in dmesg.

Thanks so much for your help.

dmesg at boot + rmmod e1000e + modprobe -v e1000e, like this?

Re: Linux e1000e module removal and e1000e EEE timer - Part II

Hello:

Update

Altoid wrote:

All shutdowns normal up to now. 050520201@21:03 GMT

That has not changed.
But I did get a bad boot which then resulted in a bad shutdown.

A bad boot is when on starting up the system, both CPU and case fans start to run at 100% and the BIOS stops with a "CPU Fan error" notice.
It asks if you want to continue or press ESC or an Fx to abort, can't recall.

Sorry, no video or grab as I was obviously not ready for it.

This has not happened in a while and although the fans running at 100% is what this bad boot has in common with the bad shutdown, I have always thought they were for different causes.
Sun Microsystems had at one time diagnosed (but evidently not bothered to fix) this problem in a Sun Product Notes *.pdf for this WS (2009) where it says it can happen and why:

Sun MS wrote:

CPU Fan Error Might Occur After Power On
If you power on the workstation before the system enters the S3 sleep
state, a CPU fan error might occur.

It also provided a workaround which consists in accessing the Management Engine (ME) BIOS Setup utility to change the power policies.
You have to set ME "Firmware Power Control" to ON and "Host Sleep States" to ON in S0, S3.
I changed "Host Sleep States" from S1, S3 to S0, S3 but every so often the CPU Fan error came around again.

[rant]
But why would I want this?
It is basically allowing Intel ME to start up you workstation remotely.
[/rant]

So I tried to set ME "Firmware Power Control" or "Host Sleep States" to OFF, effectively disabling sleep of any type in my box.
Because ...
WTHF does a server/workstation need a damn S state different than S5 for? 

As a result all havok broke loose: on reboot with the box frozen at the start of the BIOS sequence, both CPU and case fans at 100%.
I was scared shitless that my new WS was done for.
Only way out was a hard shutdown, a CMOS clear and a ME BIOS reflash.

I believe that this is closely related to the fact that it is not possible to disable the on-board GbE LAN in the BIOS. (it is greyed out)
That and the Intel e1000 driver is *always* enabling WoL no matter what settings you give it.
Which is why I had WoL set to OFF both at boot and at shutdown via a shutdown script.

In any case, "Host Sleep States" is evidently set to ON and S1, (not S0) and S3.

I insisted with my attempt once again before starting the first part of this thread, with the same results.
Not as scared and more confident around the hardware than the first time I tried it, but in a sweat till I saw a working boot screen come up.

But I digress ...

Instead of aborting the boot sequence I continued to boot into Devuan, which went on without any other problem than the fans blowing continuously at 100%.

I got a copy of dmesg checked that everything was working properly and proceeded to shut down as I am usually doing these days. ie: plain shutdown -h now, no script.

The result was another bad shutdown, like the ones I usually get.
Here's the shutdown screen:

bad-boot.png

No different than what I am getting these days with a normal shutdown.
ie: contains no debug data.

I will edit the shutdown script to disable WoL as I had been doing to see if there's any change in this behaviour.

Thanks in advance,

A.
