Subject: Tulip driver bug in 2.4.17
I am running a dlink DFE-570TX quad card that works fine with the 0.9.14
driver in 2.4.8, but with the 2.4.15-pre9 driver in 2.4.14-2.4.17 I run
into a bug when trying to use all the interfaces.
if I use eth3 alone it works
if I use eth0, eth1, eth2 it works
if I use eth0, eth1, eth3 it locks up immediatly following the ifconfig,
locking up to the point that the magic sysreq stuff doesn't work!
if I work the other direction and ifconfig eth3, eth2, eth1, eth0 I get a
shell prompt back after the last ifconfig before it locks up.
I posted this friday on sourceforge, but looking today at the activity
there it doesn't look like it's in use much now so I'm sending this
directly to you. If there is any other place I should send it or any
additional tests I should perform, please let me know (I have 50 of these
cards either in production or headed there soon :-)

You're not using a PCI extender/riser card, are you?
What motherboard?
By lockup, how hard is it? Will the reset button work quickly?
After 5 or so seconds?
You should probably send an lspci -vv and the interesting parts from
dmesg (or /var/log/messages)...

Yes, (it's in a 2u rackmount case). it's a low right-angle extender

happens on at least two different ones, I'll have to get the exact model
numbers tomorrow. One is a 6 month old Athlon t-bird 1.2GHz and the other
is a 3 week old 1.4GHz Athlon XP

hard, magic sysreq doesn't work, reset doesn't work at all, power shuts
down after 4-5 seconds

I put in the full dmesg for 2.4.5-pre1 and 2.4.17 (just in case there's
other relevent stuff, with a tailored kernel it's fairly small) and one
copy of lspci -vv (same on both versions)
here is 2.4.5-pre1

You're screwed :)
It seems to be a hardware/PCI problem. I replaced 4-port NICS (the DFE-570-TX),
motherboards, cpus, entire chassis...the problem followed the riser cards.
To debug, take off the face-plates of your NICS and run them in your box
w/out the riser..or take the MB completely out of the case. I'll bet
you a dozen realtec nics that that will fix your lockup problem! :)
While you're doing that...order a $54 riser from adexelec.com. Their
riser fixed the problem for me. If the riser isn't obvious on
Adex's page, let me know and I'll find the version of the one I got.
Btw, if you find a butter-fly riser for a 1U chassis that works, let
me know..cause I see the same problem in my 1U servers...
Enjoy,
Ben

then why does the same card work properly with the old driver? if it's
truely a hardware problem then all versions of the driver should fail. if
it's possible for one version to work around the problem (or avoid
triggering it) then other versions should be able to.

for me the same machine is rock solid with 2.4.5/8 (driver 0.9.14) but
fails with 2.4.14/17 (driver 0.9.15-pre9)
the failure is not at all traffic related, I have these boxes in
production (only useing 3 of the 4 ports) with no problems at all, but on
a box not connected to any network I can lock it up by just issuing an
ifconfig.
it's possible that it's a PCI problem (if so can we back off the timing to
what worked?), but I would expect the problem to be more variable if that
was the case.

Can you check if your 2.4.5/8 driver actually does 100bt-FD autonegotiation
correctly? I believe it was broken during that time, and fixed in 2.4.9.
It's possible that that may have something to do with the problem, but
it's a stretch...
It might also be interesting to see if the working driver still works
if you forward port it into 2.4.17....

I have been seeing some errors that could be autonegotiation failing, they
haven't been enough for me to ge the time to track them down (and I was
putting them down to cisco switch config issues anyway) I'll have to
double check.
correction on version numbers.
2.4.5-pre1 worked, 2.4.5 has driver 0.9-15-pre2 and fails, I guess I
hadn't tested properly with 2.4.8, compiling now with drivers/net from
2.4.4.
when it locks up the reset works immediatly, power takes a few seconds to
shutdown.

I copied the drivers/net directory from 2.4.4 (tulip driver 0.4.14e) and
it results in the same lockup on 2.4.17 as the new driver.
what can I do to turn on more logging here?

Maybe some very verbose PCI debug info??

That is interesting. (For me, I had some older, slightly slower systems
work, while the newer ones failed. I believe I tried older drivers on my
new hardware, but I'm not sure...) The only excuse I could come up with is
that the newer drivers/machines could utilize the PCI bus faster and
that somehow caused the lockup. Because even sysreq didn't work, I can't
imagine what a driver, buggy or otherwise, could do to lock the system
like it does...
