Subject: Re: 2.6.32.21 - uptime related crashes?
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:39:05 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110430173905.GA25641@tty.gr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110430093605.GA10529@1wt.eu>
If I may add some, hopefully useful, information to the thread:
At work we have an HP c7000 blade enclosure. It's populated with 8 ProLiant
BL460c G1 (Xeon E5405, constant_tsc but not nonstop_tsc) and 4 ProLiant BL460c
G6 (Xeon E5504, constant_tsc + nonstop_tsc). All were booted at the same day
with Debian's 2.6.32-23~bpo50+1 kernel, i.e. upstream 2.6.32.21.
We too experienced problems with just the G6 blades at near 215 days
uptime (on the 19th of April), all at the same time. From our
investigation, it seems that their cpu_clocks jumped suddenly far in the
future and then almost immediately rolled over due to wrapping around
64-bits.
Although all of their (G6s) clocks wrapped around *at the same time*, only one
of them actually crashed at the time, with a second one crashing just a few
days later, on the 28th.
Three of them had the following on their logs:
Apr 18 20:56:07 hn-05 kernel: [17966378.581971] tap0: no IPv6 routers present
Apr 19 10:15:42 hn-05 kernel: [18446743935.365550] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#4 stuck for 17163091968s! [kvm:25913]
[...]
Apr 19 10:15:42 hn-05 kernel: [18446743935.447275] [<ffffffff81010b42>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
Apr 19 10:18:32 hn-05 kernel: [ 31.587025] bond0.13: received packet with own address as source address
(full oops at the end of this mail)
Note that the 17163091968s time stuck was *the same* (+/- 1s) in *all
three of them*.
What's also very strange, although we're not very sure if related, is
that when we took the first line of the above log entry and substracted
17966378.581971 from Apr 18 20:56:07, this resulted in a boot-time that
differed several hours from the actual boot time (the latter being
verified both with syslog and /proc/bstat's btime, which were both in
agreement). This was verified post-mortem too, with the date checked to
be correct.
IOW, we have some serious clock drift (calcuated it at runtime to
~0.1s/min) on these machines that hasn't been made apparent probably
since they all run NTP. Moreover, we also saw that drift on other
machines (1U, different vendor, different data center, E5520 CPUs) but
not with the G1 blades. Our investigation showed that the drift is there
constantly (it's not a one-time event) but we're not really sure if it's
related with the Apr 18th jump event. Note that the drift is there even
if we boot with "clocksource=hpet" but disappears when booted with
"notsc". Also note that we've verified with 2.6.38 and the drift is
still there.
Regards,
Faidon
