Created attachment 169141 [details] A diagnostic file, produced by 'PC-BSD bug report tool'; includes dmesg and other information USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) Kingston DataTraveler G4 http://web.archive.org/web/20151107114009/http://www.kingston.com/en/usb/personal_business#DTIG4 32GB USB flash drive for PersonaCrypt in PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENT. If required: https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/pc-bsd-version-1012-now-available-for-the-security-conscious-desktop-user/ includes an outline of PersonaCrypt. With PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTNOV2015 and less, the Kingston device is *entirely reliable* for PersonaCrypt with a circa 2007 Ergo Vista 621 notebook, with 4 GB memory, where the interface is probably limited to USB 2.0. With the following distributions, the same combination of hardware *ceases to work very quickly* (typically within ten minutes of GELI attachment): * PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTDEC2015 * PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTJAN2016 * PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTFEB2016 * PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTMAR2016 For a few weeks the Kingston device was good for PersonaCrypt with PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTMAR2016 on a more modern notebook -- an early 2011 Apple MacBookPro8,2 with 4 GB memory, https://support.apple.com/kb/SP620 – again, USB 2.0. Today with PC-BSD 11.0-CURRENTAPRIL2016 before attempting to use the Kingston device, I gave that Mac notebook an unusually 'hard push' (overnight, with synth at ttyv1) – hard enough to use around 2 GB of 4 GB available swap. Then, as I attempted to log in with PersonaCrypt, the problem recurred. An extract: ---- usb_pc_common_mem_cb: Page offset was not preserved (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(10).

I understand that users of USB devices may be cautioned against using USB 2.0 for ZFS, but the difference between NOV2015 and DEC2015 was so extreme that a bug report seems appropriate. ---- Historically (2010) ------------------- https://wiki.freebsd.org/USB noted: Q: I see the following error and USB stops working "Page offset was not preserved!" A: Update your sources, this issue is fixed. Recently (2015-11-24) --------------------- svn commit: r291251 - stable/9/sys/dev/usb https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-9/2015-November/008097.html > MFC r290326: > Relax the BUS_DMA_KEEP_PG_OFFSET requirement to > allow optimising allocation of DMA bounce buffers. Modified: stable/9/sys/dev/usb/usb_busdma.c A wild guess: I wonder whether the problem(s) affecting my use of a USB device are an unintended consequence of that allowance for optimisation.
