Description

A while ago, I started getting the same notice in my logs every night at the same time. Most of my external servers report losing their vpn connection about two minutes later. When I log into the web UI, I get this helpful greeting:

pf_busy

    PF was wedged/busy and has been reset. @ 2017-10-08 04:32:17

Filter Reload

    There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDALTQ: Device busy - The line in question reads [0]: @ 2017-10-08 04:32:24

From my syslog host, I found these lines:

If I look at one of the log files, I see this:

I can't tell if this is a bug or something else. My ISP provides a single DHCP address, but the address does not change; it was not changing here. This is on an SG-2440.

confirmed same problem here, never seen it before then out of nowhere suddenly no type of rule update can be carried out.

I see many hits on google on the pfsense forums so isnt an isolated issue.

Failing to update rules is clearly a serious problem so I feel this should be high priority.

Ok in my case the error was caused by me accidentally setting two queues to the same priority on FAIRQ.

So to avoid the problem I reported I suggest the dev's add a sanity check so when FAIRQ is used no 2 queues can have the same priority.

This appears to be a configuration issue, but if you can figure out exactly what the issue is in your case(s), then input validation can be crafted to help avoid the situation.

For help tracking down your configuration issues, please create a new topic on the Netgate Forum and include your entire ruleset and traffic shaping configuration.

Once you figure out which combination of configuration parameters produces this error, create a new issue with the details.
