page fault with interrupts disabled under vmware

[jackburton]

I'm getting this problem randomly, since some revisions: Haiku goes to KDL without doing anything in particular. My vmware configuration uses the ipro1000 NIC, the crash seems related to that.

[marcusoverhagen]

Please attach the vmx file. Might be related to the available memory size.

Do you have any errors like "ipro1000: ERROR get_memory_map failed for 0x8061e802" in syslog or serial debug output before this crash?

[marcusoverhagen]

This seems to be a kernel bug. I applied a change in hrev19988 that should prevent random crashing in ipro1000. But now you will probably get a panic as described in bug #997.

[marcusoverhagen]

Fixed in hrev19992.

VMWare vmx file

Reopening, still happens in hrev20005.

You can setup com1 to go to a file in vmware, and enable serial debug output to capture it.

Does that work with vmware player too ? I can't find any info on how to redirect the com port.

[marcusoverhagen]

Yes it works, at least with vmware player in Linux.

serial0.present = "true" serial0.fileType = "file" serial0.fileName = "haiku-serial-port.txt" serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

Replying to marcusoverhagen:

Now that's interesting. I enabled serial log and the bug isn't showing up anymore.

[marcusoverhagen]

When reporting additional info, please make sure to include the initally printed KDL information, as the driver has been modified since your initial report.

[jackburton]

I'll close this bug as it no longer applies. I've tried to reproduce it again with newer revisions, but failed.

[jackburton]

Happens again with latest revision (in VMWare). If I enable syslog I can't reproduce.

[jackburton]

Actually I'm starting to think it's not related to the ipro1000 driver, since I just reproduced a similar KDL while launching the page setup for the PDF printer driver.

[jackburton]

Different KDL, related ?

[korli]

Out of curiosity, what's your build environment and gcc version ?

similar kdl with vmware under linux with vlance driver

[jackburton]

I was finally able to reproduce it with serial log enabled. It shows up when I mess with ifconfig with the ipro1000 card (trying to set the ip address).

A side note: I'm having those crashes when connected to a network with many other computers. The large number of "ARP host 1a16a8c0 updated with different hardware address 00:02:a5:93:19:b5." messages could suggest some problems in the net stack itself ?

[marcusoverhagen]

Does this bug still happen? I can't reproduce it using vmware. I also transefered gigabytes using this driver in BeOS, so I doubt that it's a problem with the driver.

I will retest it soon.

Yes, I have too the feeling it's not a driver problem. Probably it's a kernel/netstack problem which is triggered when the pc is connected to a network with many hosts. In fact, I was also able to reproduce it once with the "other" vmware NIC driver. I will retest it soon, now that the netstack has been changed a lot.

[jackburton]

It's gone. Was probably a bug in the network stack.
