Kernel emits a lot of warnings for ipfw pipe show <number> Warnings looks like copy_obj (WARN) type 2 flowset 133077 have 28 need 120 copy_obj (WARN) type 4 inst 66541 have 92 need 96 Seems that code responsible for this error is in ip_dummynet.c if (have < o->len || o->len == 0 || o->type == 0) { D("(WARN) type %d %s %d have %d need %d", o->type, msg, i, have, o->len); return 1; } Warnings are shown after some traffic passed via pipe. And command like 'ipfw pipe show' - emits no warnings. So warning are observed only in case if particular pipe or pipes list is shown. How to reproduce: ----------------- Install 9.3-RELEASE Load ipfw.ko and dummynet.ko Create some pipes ipfw pipe 1 config bw 5bit/s ipfw pipe 2 config bw 5bit/s Create pipe with mask ipfw pipe 3 config bw 5bit/s mask src-ip 0xffffffff Configure ipfw ipfw add 100 pipe 3 ip from any to me Disable pipe expiration sysctl net.inet.ip.dummynet.expire=0 Then generate some traffic. For my case it was enough to have 260+ entries in pipe. Now command like ipfw pipe show 3 or ipfw pipe show 1,3 will emit few kernel warnings in console and in /var/log/messages. And just 'ipfw pipe show' works ok.
Could anyone check this issue? 'Needs Triage' is not a good state for kernel bugs.
