Description

It appears just having an IPv6 gateway configured that's unreachable will result in panics several times a day, even when that gateway is not in the routing table at all. Apparently just having apinger pinging an offline gateway will trigger a panic. Needs more investigation, but Seth has confirmed stability issues resolved after removing such an IPv6 gateway.

Definitely easy to reproduce with the right conditions, mine panics thusly:

  • Home router with IPv6 connectivity via GIF tunnel(s). If a gif tunnel has a down gateway, there is no problem.
  • Added two devices on my LAN as IPv6 gateways, for static routes.
  • I carved some /64's out of my /48 from he.net and routed them to a VM and to my ALIX on the LAN.
  • If I so much as reboot the VM that is a gateway and static route target, my main router panics within a minute or two of the VM being unreachable.

the sbappendaddr_locked() is a function that I believe comes from our one shot dumps patch which is active for our 2.0 FreeBSD 8.1 builds.

Other panics I noted have been in sbdrop(). I prepped a new firewall at work and booted it without cables attached and it rebooted in 3 minutes flat without any traffic. Dell R310, 2GB ram, AMD64, 4 igb, 2 bce.

Ideally Ermal could have a look and see if he can find fault where this comes from.

Both Apinger and a lot of other things uses sockets which this function affects. I did a quick scan for 32 bit integer limits (ipv6 being 128 bit) but couldn't easily see a buffer overflow.

Word is that the move to FreeBSD 9 will solve some of the issues as the ipsec socketbuffer patch will be gone.

It appears to be resolved by upgrading base to 8.3. We'll need to wait a bit more to get a definitive statement but it appears working for Jim and me.
