Hello,

I am trying to use the RT patches on an x86 industrial computer.  I am
getting intermittent network hangs and kernel crashes when I load the
network with netperf.  The unpatched kernel does not exhibit these
problems.  The kernel is 2.6.33.6 patched with rt28.

The computer has an AMD LX800 processor and two Intel 82559 10/100 PCI
Ethernet controllers.  I have only seen the kernel crashes when
running netperf on both ports simultaneously.

This is my first time using the RT patches, so I am not sure how to go
about resolving this.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have ported PREEMPT-RT to the NIOS II architecture. NIOS II is a 
softcore processor from Altera.
I have added to the NIOS II Linux port(http://sopc.et.ntust.edu.tw/) the 
hrtimer support and can now use cyclistest.
I have done some measurements for having latency (my NIOS II target 
boards runs at 100 MHz!).
I have used ping flooding from another powerful PC (CPU frequency > 2 
GHz) and have noticed that after few seconds, the bounded latency I had 
arises up to 50 ms! My target board doesn't crash like you.
  I have spent time for understanding. The ping flooding is OK with a 
normal Linux kernel (few ms as latency in this case). I used wireshark 
to analyze the traffic and saw that my board with PREEMPT-RT support 
doesn't respond after few seconds to all ping requests.

I've tried to put the IRQ thread of the Ethernet driver in a classical 
mode like with the standard Linux kernel through adding the IRQ_NODELAY 
flag with with request_irq() in the driver. My boards boots but crashs 
on the first ping because treatment is always done by the soft IRQ 
sirq-net-rx (this is this soft IRQ thread that causes your crash).
The NIOS II has no ftrace support yet so no tool for studying latencies 
is available...

I've done some researchs on the net on this problem and found the 
presentation "INTERRUPTS CONSIDERED HARMFUL" from Peter Chubb and Yang 
Song 
(http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.156.9914&rep=rep1&type=pdf). 


The paper presents the same testing environment like you and me: a 
target board under PREEMPT-RT and a Ethernet traffic generator that can 
generates a huge traffic load. They use cyclictest too.With heavy 
traffic, latency from cyclictest goes up to 50 ms (like me)! By 
analyzing traces (with ftrace), they saw that the soft IRQ sirq-net-rx 
takes too time for responding in case of heavy traffic load. The 
solution they have found was to modify the Ethernet driver (e1000)  with 
no soft IRQ.
I know now the source of my problem and can't have a realistic response 
time to ping flooding with a traffic generator that saturates the target 
board under PREEMPT-RT. In this case, the Ethernet driver must be revisited.
You may have the same problem with another consequence: crash. Have you 
tried to ping flood just one Ethernet interface with heavy traffic?
For latency measurement, I just use hackbench 
(http://devresources.linuxfoundation.org/craiger/hackbench/), stress 
(http://weather.ou.edu/~apw/projects/stress/) tools and dd commands. My 
latency time with cyclictest is bounded with heavy CPU load (min= 300µs  
max<1400 µs CPU@100 MHz) and know that I can have realistic response 
time in case of heavy Ethernet traffic (my NIOS II board has not enough 
CPU power in this case).

Hello,

Thanks to John (and this paper 
http://lwn.net/images/conf/rtlws11/papers/proc/p11.pdf), I have an 
explanation on the fact that my latency with cyclictest grows up to 50 
ms when I perform ping flooding of my NIOS II board target under PREEMPT-RT.

I cite: ”Ping flooding the target system from a different machine will 
cause a huge number of network interrupts. Be careful: The Floodping 
will cause the IRQ Handler of the network interface to run very often. 
It’ll also increase the runtime of the Soft IRQ Handlers for the RX and 
TX handling. All of them are Kernel Threads with Realtime priority. So, 
on PREEMPT RT please check /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_ns. This 
defines a threshold for the runtime of Realtime Tasks (to prevent a 
starvation of the low priority tasks). The default value is 950ms, which 
means if the rt runtime exceeds 950ms, the rt tasks won’t be scheduled 
up to the full second. You can disable this behaviour by writing -1 to 
sched_rt_runtime_ns."
More precisely here: 
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-rt-group.txt

By default, I have :
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
950000

That means that during 1 second, 95 % of time is for RT threads and 5 % 
remaining time for the non-RT threads.

When I ping floog my board, with wireshark, I've noticed that after few 
seconds, every second, I had a burst of ping responses (no explanation 
at this time). It was regular and every second. And my latency measured 
with cyclictest exploded up to 50 ms.

I have put now:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
2000000
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
1900000
With ping flooding, the burst of ping responses (near the double) 
appears exactly every 2 seconds.

I have now the explanation of the burst of ping responses every second 
with ping flooding. By default, 95 % is not enough for treating my ping 
flooding (the soft IRQ sirq-net-rx takes too time). Then RT treatment is 
stopped for the last 5% remaining time for non-RT threads. The remaining 
RT job is done during the next second in the RT slice (950 ms), the 
origin of the burst.

I have done:
# echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
for disabling this time slicing between RT and non-RT threads and leaves 
all the time to the RT threads if necessary (that's what I want with a 
realtime system).

When I do that, the latency is now self contained and doesn't explose. 
It fixes my problem. I've verified that I haven't yet no burst of ping 
responses every second. I will check with a scope if it's OK when I'm 
generating a periodic signal on a GPIO pin during ping flooding.

Pat.

Hi John,

I use Fedora 13 which has 2.6.33.6 as the kernel (without RT).

My machine has three net i/f in it.  Two PCI net cards with Realtek
chipset and Intel PRO built into the mainboard's chipset.

When I installed Fedora using the netboot USB flash drive, it insisted
on using one of the Realtek interfaces for Internet connection so that
is my eth0.  All fine.

More recently, I activated the other two net i/f for private LAN to
target HW test network.  I set one to 10.0.0.1 and the other to
192.168.101.4 and connected them to the target network.  Note that they
were both connected to the same network switch.

Shortly after that, the system froze.  After reboot it would run for a
while and then freeze.  I unplugged the net i/f based on the Intel PRO
and all has been fine since.

I mention all this because you once mentioned you were using two Intel
net i/f.  It may not even be RT related.

I suggest you try (not in any particular order, but each on its own)...

   - running with only one net i/f connected
   - building a side-by-side vanilla kernel 2.6.33.7 (without RT patch)
and running your two net i/f without RT
   - using different net i/f cards (say based on Realtek or something
other than Intel) try running it with RT

If you see your system behavior change related to any of these, it
possibly may not be RT patch related (or it could be tied to a specific
driver).

Regards,

Darcy

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have tried the unpatched 2.6.33.7
kernel, and the problem does not occur.  The hardware is a single
board industrial computer with the network controllers onboard, so I
cannot easily try different NICs.  I have not seen the problem occur
with only one port in use, but I have not tested that long enough to
be positive.

One thing that may be a little odd about this computer is that both
Ethernet controllers (Intel 82559) share the same PCI interrupt.
Interrupt sharing should be OK, but since adjacent PCI slots in normal
PCs generally use different interrupts, it may not occur often in
other systems.

Hi John,

First of all, you will want to become familiar with the 'chrt' command
(available also as an applet part of busybox).  That command (plus some
of the finer details in optional output from the 'ps' command) is how
you will tweak and experiment on a target system.

Then the attached may be of use (I attached them because they are
small).  rtctl is a package that originates from Red Hat.  If you are
using busybox shell (rather than full blown bash), then apply the
attached patch to it.

Extract the rpm something like...

rpm2cpio rtctl-1.7-1.el5rt.src.rpm | cpio --extract --make-directories

...assuming you have rpm2cpio installed on your host.  Then extract any
tarballs that were bundled inside it.  Then apply the attached patch to
it (if not using bash on your target).

Then install to your target rootfs staging area something like...

install -D -m 755 rtctl $MY_STAGING_DIR_PATH/usr/sbin/rtctl
install -D -m 644 rtgroups $MY_STAGING_DIR_PATH/etc/rtgroups
install -D -m 755 rtctl.sysconfig
$MY_STAGING_DIR_PATH/etc/sysconfig/rtctl 

The package includes more but that's all I've ported and tried out so
far on a uclibc/buildroot style embedded Linux with RT kernel so far.

Edit the rtgroups file accordingly to implement an RT policy that works
for you (based on outcome of your experiments using chrt).

What hasn't been implemented yet is how to hook rtctl into your system
initialization scripts.  The stock content from the Red Hat package is
for their real time distro.  You'd need to invoke it from your scripts
accordingly.


Regards,

Darcy

Does it reproduce when you turn off PREEMPT_RT, but leave all the IRQ 
threading options enabled?

I changed from PREEMPT_RT to PREEMPT_DESKTOP, and now it will not
boot.  I get the following error, then it hangs:

LOL.  Sounds like there is a little more work to be done on the .33
release.

I think you are onto something however - although I am not at the moment
blessed with the time to dig for you -
 
linkwatch_event - is that part of e1000?

If so, that's where I'd start digging.

What happens if you first disable PREEMPT_HARDIRQs,
and then next also disable PREEMPT_SOFTIRQs?

I would assume after the latter it would work just fine.

Regards,

Sven

linkwatch_event is defined in net/core/link_watch.c.

It appears to work fine if I disable PREEMPT_HARDIRQs.

Thanks for the feedback.  My main objective with this platform at the
moment is to learn about preempt-rt and evaluate its stability and
suitability for use.

Cool - that makes sense -

like I said, I am slammed with other stuff, but hopefully one of the 
heavywheigts on this will have a patch for you at some point - its 
definitely a bug of some species.

can you please try to reproduce the problem with the function tracer
enabled ? Make sure that /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops is set
to 1.

When the bug reproduces the kernel will spill out the trace over the
serial console, which will take a while but should show us what's
going on.

Thanks,
