Description Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-07-31 19:06:19 UTC
dante port gets stuck while is building with Clang and it forces me to abort the compilation. 

At this point it stop:

Also it spits out the following console message:

I have to assume you are talking about net/dante 1.4.0 committed today.
Under that assumption, I'm assigning this to wg@ who committed it.

I'm also notifying mp39590 who submitted bug 191232 that updated it.

Right, it fails with version 1.4.0

Digging more I discovered that my wireless device repeatedly throws the following message:

urtwn0: could not create RX mbuf
Comment 4 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-01 20:58:47 UTC
After increase the values of kern.ipc.nmbclusters to 200000 and kern.ipc.nmbufs to 280000 I finally installed sucessfully dante. Note that I have had to increase the kern.ipc.nmbufs value twice before pass the configure checks.
Comment 5 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-02 14:47:47 UTC
wg@ (CC'd), Carlos wrote me with redport results, this definitely doesn't build on i386:

https://redports.org/buildarchive/20140801172516-99642/

You assigned this back to the heap without even saying anything.  You might want to at least mark it broken on i386.  It's not in a good state after your commit.
Comment 6 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-02 14:49:35 UTC
Actually, Carlos, you tell me.  Is it broken on i386 or what?  Having to put in non-standard sysctl settings doesn't sound normal to me, maybe at least it needs to be IGNORED by default (overrideable) ?

What's your recommendation?
Comment 7 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-02 15:21:30 UTC
Hi John,


Yes, it's weird needing to tweak sysctls to make it compile. Thats the reason why I asked for help.

I think we should mark as BROKEN for i386 meanwhile I get a reply from dante's guys.

  Mark net/dante BROKEN on i386

I would say if you don't hear anything in 2 weeks from upstream or the net/dante maintainer, then just close the PR.

I don't think there's anything else to do for now.

Where I can find buildlogs from redports for i386? I've checked building on my VirtualBox with i386 10.0-RELEASE and it's successful.

I have canceled all build process related to i386 because they were stuck. Here are the logs:

I can't see logs for i386 there, only for amd64. I'm interested where i386 10-RELEASE stuck, because on my VirtualBox (10/i386) it compiles without any errors or freezes.
Comment 14 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-02 20:23:59 UTC
You said that it compiles fine on 10.0-RELEASE/i386. Can you show me the values of the following sysctls:

kern.ipc.nmbclusters 
kern.ipc.nmbufs

I want to compare both values to make a better diagnose and discard options. I could install dante after increase temporarily both values to build it, but that no make sense because I'm using the default values for a desktop use and I never had a problem with them.

Regarding to the build logs I stopped them.
Comment 15 mp39590 2014-08-02 20:33:45 UTC
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 10294
kern.ipc.nmbufs: 65895

FreeBSD vb2 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789: Fri Jan 17 01:46:25 UTC 2014     root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

It's absolutely new 10.0 RELEASE without any tweaks.
Comment 16 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-02 20:39:36 UTC
Mine are these:

kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 26368
kern.ipc.nmbufs: 168765

but dante complains with the following messages:

[zone: mbuf_cluster] kern.ipc.nmbclusters limit reached 
and/or
[zone: mbuf_cluster] kern.ipc.nmbufs limit reached

It gets stuck while 'checking read-side pipe system...'

I will send you my config.log so you can take a look.
Comment 17 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-03 09:25:33 UTC
I received a reply from dante's devs so I copy it here for your general knowledge:

=======================================================================
Hello,

Thank you for the bug report. There is a configure bug in Dante 1.4.0
that affects some FreeBSD versions and it might be it that causes the
problem that you are seeing. We hope to have this fixed in the next
version of Dante (1.4.1), and a snapshot with a possible solution can
be found at this location:

ftp://ftp.inet.no/pub/socks/private/dante-20140802.tar.gz

Please let us know if this fixes the problem that you are seeing if
you are able to test it.

Note that this snapshot contains code that has not been fully tested
yet and should not be used in production environments.

With kind regards,

Karl-Andre' Skevik
Inferno Nettverk A/S

Comment 18 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-03 12:03:32 UTC
I investigated further the configure script and I found that the hack to determine the pipe buffer type is the culprit. Commenting out this little hack is able to build fine.

Maybe we can unset this check or elaborate a patch to pass it.
Comment 19 Peter Wemm freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-03 20:08:27 UTC
FWIW, this is all platforms, not just i386.  The test program has the same effect even as a non-privileged user on 10.0+ - 9.x isn't affected.
Comment 20 Peter Wemm freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-03 20:09:27 UTC
FWIW, the culprit appears in the output of netstat -f unix - one unix domain socket will have a massive Recv-Q that has permanently consumed all mbufs.

test case #1

Yes, the problem that write() call do not return ENOBUFS and just infinitely cycles inside the loop. I attach simple program to reproduce, it's stripped down version of conftest.c from dante's configure script which causes this.

Peter, can you show the 'netstat -f unix' output?

After reverting this commit[1] I can successfully build dante on amd64-current and run test case program.

[1] - http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=262867
Comment 26 Peter Wemm freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-03 23:09:11 UTC
It seems there's multiple things going on here.

1) the conftest program in net/dante is actually broken.  It is using setsockopt() with the sizes as size_t (64 bit on amd64) when they are socklen_t (32 bit).  This is causing some interesting diagnostic output when conftest tries to set insane sizes.

2) there was a kernel bug introduced with 262867 (and MFC'ed to 10-stable) that ignored the socket buffer limits entirely.

I've partially backed out the apparently offending line in 262867 (which I think was an edit / patch error) and the test program no longer breaks the machine.

It does generate all the expected noise due to the errors in #1, but the machines are no longer harmed.  The test program makes the same noise due to #1 on a 9.x amd64 machine.

This was not in 10.0-RELEASE, only in 10-stable and head.
Comment 27 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-03 23:26:35 UTC
I will try to build it again on -CURRENT after r269489 was committed.
Comment 28 mp39590 2014-08-04 10:28:29 UTC
To work this out till the logical ending: how we should deal with this port? Leave forbidden for anything >10 - I don't know a way for checking a revision number inside Makefile (suggestions are welcome).

Dante dev's said that they've fixed #1 (from Peter's comment) and it will be in 1.4.1. Actually, as they say, even in 1.4.0, when it was buggy it won't cause any troubles besides strange output.

Also, we can just wait for proper 1.4.1, this will give time for build machines to upgrade, and when it will out - remove 'broken/forbidden' altogether with a port version update.
Comment 29 Carlos J Puga Medina 2014-08-07 22:40:31 UTC
I confirm that r269489 fixes the problem.
