Eth connection hangs after some hours

Description

I have an ethernet connection (DHCP - connected to a router) which has always worked without issues on Haiku.

But since i upgraded Haiku to hrev46239 i often experience dead connection, after some hours. With "dead connection" i mean that browsers (WebPositive and Qupzilla) will try to load sites without success and also the "ping" command doesn't show any output. I've also tried to stop and restart the net_server but this doesn't solve the situation. To get the connection again i have to reboot Haiku.

The syslog (oddly) seems that not contains anything about netwok hangs. But in anyway here i attach the last part of syslog before that my connection hangs: http://pastie.org/8410771

Let me know if i can do some other tests.

Update: when i lose connection, if i open the "Network" preflet i can see that all entries are correctly set/assigned (DHCP) as usual, but in anyway the connection itself is dead. Only a reboot can solve the situation.

Please attach a clean syslog.

Thanks, can you check with hrev46192 or older?

comment:5 by Giova84, 11 years ago

Looking here, i bet that you suggest me a least hrev46192 because in hrev46193 was done this commit: http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=3ad66bf0d6b125723da0f215e3907a3e4182cd70

Well, to be honest also with hrev46198 my connection used to working fine.

comment:6 by Giova84, 11 years ago

To be further accurate: when i lose connection on Haiku, i am still able to use connection on other computers on my LAN.

comment:7 by Giova84, 11 years ago

I have done another test. Few minutes ago i lose again the connection. And this time i have tried to open the network preflet, set the "Mode" to "disabled", click on apply, back to DHCP and then click apply again: DHCP was no longer able (during the previous session) to assign again the "Gateway" (empty field), while all others entries were properly set as before.

This is very odd, because the connection is still active on other PCs, and the syslog is always the same.

comment:8 by Giova84, 11 years ago

I've waited some days to update this ticket, to be sure of progresses which i've made. Well, three days ago i set my eth card to force static mode instead of DHCP, and in this way I no longer lose the connection, then i switched again to DHCP and connection was stable again. Odd, because the sull syslog doesn't show anything about the issue and when i was losing the connection on Haiku, on other PCs of my lan, all was fine. I think that this ticket could be closed as "no change required".

comment:9 by tqh, 11 years ago

I'd prefer to have it open. I think there are issues either in dhcp or in the networking code, and I'd like to keep and collect these kind of problems for now.

comment:10 by diver, 9 years ago

Might be fixed in hrev49477.

Replying to diver:

Unfortunately I noticed that this issue, for me on my system when I use DHCP, appears more often since I'm back on Haiku few months ago (on hrev50067). With "more often" I mean that I lose the connection also after the boot of Haiku.

Since I have to stay with DHCP, I cant tell if switching to static configuration is still able to solve the trouble (as I said in the comment 8 ): the only way to get the connection again is still to reboot Haiku.

I have an update about this ticket.

When I lose the connection, I open the network preflet and I go to the ipv4 configuration, then I change the Mode from "DHCP" to "Disabled" (but without clicking on the "Apply" button), then I select again DHCP as mode (again, without clicking on the "Apply" button) and the connection will be available again (the net notification will tell me about the fact that my eth card is ready again).

How can I investigate more thoroughly? Due this bug ticket:12634 is very hard to find exact messages in the syslog, because is continuosly spammed with the same message.

Only the static mode is applied *when* Apply button is pushed, all other changes are applied immediately. Which mean a DHCP renegociation fix the issue, pointing the origin there. Either the DHCP lease expired before we renew it in time, or the DHCP server does something weird with the lease or we does something weird when we renew the DHCP lease.

Do you have any trace of a DHCP lease renewall somewhere in your syslog before connection get lost? According your attached syslog, the lease expired each hour. You should see some lease renewal attempt in the syslog every hour, theoretically.

comment:14 by vidrep, 8 years ago

See ticket #11938 for a similar sequence of steps to re-enable DHCP.

Replying to phoudoin:

Today (Haiku hrev51051) I lose connection again. The odd thing is that someday the connection is stable for all day long; someday like today, instead, is prone to disappear suddenly. If i Look at the syslog, I noticed that is spammed with these messages:

Doesn't seems that the DHCP renewal appear when i lost the connection: in the syslog of today the DHCP renewal just appears two time: I will check more precisely. however, in these three years (since i opened the ticket) I changed three routers, and each of them has a different lease renew time: so i can exclude the fact that the connection here on Haiku, is weak due the router.. Soon i wanna try with another computer with another ethernet card.

comment:16 by phoudoin, 7 years ago

Sounds that the first issue is link instability, no? Or at least the way the driver handle it...

Is this running under a VM or an actual baremetal Haiku with an actual intel Pro1000 NIC card in it?

I agree that your routers and their DHCP server can't be the issue source here, indeed.

comment:17 by Giova84, 7 years ago

I have an update.

First of all, I run Haiku only on bare metal ;)

Well, on the previous computer the eth card was an Intel 82567V-2 Gigabit (recognized as /dev/net/ipro1000); now i changed my desktop PC and I have an Realtek 8111F Gigabit (always on the motherboard) , which, under Haiku, work with the /dev/net/rtl81xx driver. But the same issue (link instability) still occurs, and I can definitely tell you that if I go with the static mode instead of DHCP, the connection is stable on the old PC and on this one.

Many DHCP issues seem to have cleared up with the ARP fix. Can you retest this under a recent nightly?
