Description Bruce Becker 2006-01-27 09:40:03 UTC
packets/second value reported by rpc.rstatd to remote monitor hovers around
8000 or so with odd downward spikes approx every 90 seconds (it's not at all related to actual interface traffic)

How-To-Repeat: keep displaying rpc.rstatd data from 6.0 system
Comment 1 Kris Kennaway 2006-01-27 10:01:58 UTC
How are you using rpc.rstatd and rup?  I don't see a way to make rup
display "packets/second", it only gives uptime and load average:

# rup
fbsd-amd64.isc.  10:02am  up   4 days,  14:00,  load average: 2.00 2.00 2.00

Thus saith Kris Kennaway:
| Do you know how I can query this on FreeBSD?


	It's easy to do on any BSD system - in /usr/src/usr.bin/rup,
	make a copy rupx.c with this diff:


*** rup.c       Sat May 21 05:55:07 2005
--- rupx.c      Fri Jan 27 16:17:25 2006
***************

                (double)host_stat->avenrun[1]/FSCALE,
                (double)host_stat->avenrun[2]/FSCALE);
+       printf("ipackets: %d opackets %d\n", host_stat->if_ipackets, host_stat->if_opackets);
  
        remember_host(raddrp->sin_addr);
        return(0);


	All other FreeBSD systems seem to return 0 for if_opackets
	(which is wrong), whereas 6.0 returns junk.  NetBSD, Solaris,
	SunOS 4.x, & Irix 6.x all seem to do the right thing.


	I also note that the RPC/XDR code seems to be quite ancient -
	even SunOS 4.1.1 1990 code has declarations for an additional
	version 4 of the rstats protocol: RSTATVERS_VAR, with variable
	args for RSTAT_CPUSTATES & RSTAT_DK_NDRIVE.  All the code
	appears to have version 3 (RSTATVERS_TIME), which rup uses.

Comment 4 hostmaster 2006-01-29 04:28:25 UTC
Thus saith Kris Kennaway:
| Do you know how I can query this on FreeBSD?

	here's a tester kluge: in /usr/src/usr.bin/rup, make a copy
	rupx.c with this diff:

147a148
> 	printf("ipackets: %d opackets %d\n", host_stat->if_ipackets, host_stat->if_opackets);


	... but I'll do better - it's fixed.  Below are diffs for
	FreeBSD 6.x to fix 2 basic issues:

	1. the code was filling in values to the most restrictive
	   members of the union rather than the least, so values
	   got overlaid;

	2. the last gettimeofday call was clobbering the structure
	   because it has 64-bit values in amd64.


	This fix should work for all 6.x FreeBSD (and probably 5.x too) -
	4.x & 3.x seem to have issues with opackets systcl mib (always
	returns 0), so I made a version for them which uses the kmem
	interface as well as the other fixes shown below....

	BTW, the sysutils/xsysstats package works fine for X users...
	So how does this get tested & into the distro?
	(I also backported these & other fixes to 4.x)

Just curious, but why not declare a variable as time_t instead of  
long?  Seems like that would be more correct.

Comment 7 hostmaster 2006-01-30 19:22:52 UTC
	it didn't seem to matter because of the "u_int tv_sec"
	declaration in rstat_timeval in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.h,
	and the surrounding "(time_t *)&" - it should be as you suggest
	however

	in fact the problem mentioned seems to have been noticed
	recently and is fixed somewhat more cleanly in current ...

This does not sound amd64-specific.
Comment 9 hostmaster 2008-07-08 17:33:34 UTC
Recently kern/122875 bug report provoked a change to libexec/rpc.rstatd
(rather than a still-needed fix to sys/kern/kern_clock.c for RELENG_7 & HEAD) -

Below is an updated patch to re-establish the required fixes
so that it works properly...

Attached is an updated patch for 64-bit systems. I hope someone
can apply it to HEAD - fix has been waiting for some years. Please?
