msk0: phy write timeout

M

mix_room

I am having some problems with one of my FreeBSD 8.1-release machines. It is a desktop machine running amd64, Gigabyte mainboard. Generally works well. But: repeatedly there are times when I can not access it via 'internet' (primarily ssh but also other protocols).

When I look at the console of the machine I see errors stating that
[cmd=""]msk0: phy write timeout[/cmd]
has occurred.

Is this a problem with the operating system, with the hardware, with cabling, with the switch or where shall I proceed to look.

[cmd=""]dmesg[/cmd] returns the output below after the error:
Code: 
...
msk0: phy write timeout
msk0: phy write timeout
msk0: phy write timeout
...

Proper [cmd=""]dmesg[/cmd] before problems occur:

I have no clue why PHY write access fails here but it would be great if you can file a PR and let me know the PR number. Having a PR will always make me remind the issue and other users may also know possible driver issues.
 
I've never successfully managed to get this driver working right either since 7.2. Have to use a USB 100/MB Trendnet in the box that his a Marvell 1000/MB card. Just updated to 8.1-RELEASE in hopes that they finally fixed this driver but it still craps out once you put a little load on it (csup ports).

EDIT - Just pinging it knocks it out of commission.

My driver works fine under load, that does not seem to be the problem. Have moved several GBs of data with the card without it crapping out. Pinging does not generally create a problem.
 
Is it possible that this issue is caused by too high temperatures, or other hardware issues?

It seem that it is occurring more frequently lately. Now I do not even seem to be able to leave the machine on for more than a few hours before it decides to die. It used to be stable for weeks on end.
 
I don't think it could be related with hardware issues. I know msk(4) has several issues to support some Marvell controllers but it looks hard to fix them mainly due to lack of documentation and hardware. Most Marvell controllers are available only on LOM and laptops so it's hard to get the hardware unless I replace my motherboard with new one which has Marvell controller.

One vague guess for the cause of issue is power management related one, like powerd(8). Recent controllers seem to have more advanced power saving features and that seems to require proper configuration but that's not available to open source developers.
 
Is there anything I can do to help you determine what the error is? (Short of sending you the mainboard that is). Tests I can run, output you need, access?

I don't think that I use any power management features, unless they are enabled by default.
 
Hi, i have an asus motherboard (P5WDG2 WS Pro) that have the same nic (msk0).

I can confirm the problem, it is something with this damn nic :p

There is a workaround, just edit the file /boot/loader.conf with the following:

Code: 
hw.pci.enable_msi=0 
hw.pci.enable_msix=0

Reboot and you can use that nic.

For me I changed to another networkd card for performance reasons.

Best Regards
