Description

I've seen these lately:

kernel: re0: watchdog timeout

and the box loses network connectivity. I started getting them after updating to DragonFly v3.3.0.1365.g972077-DEVELOPMENT

Some lines from dmesg:

Set hw.re.msi.enable to 0 in /boot/loader.conf, and see whether it helps or not.

Thanks, I added that setting. Is there way to verify that it's in effect?

pciconf -lvc

Look for the re0 related lines, e.g. for my emx1 w/ MSI enabled

emx1@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x83691043 chip=0x10d38086
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82574L Gigabit Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0
cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint
cap 11[a0] = MSI-X supports 5 messages in map 0x1c

Note the "cap 05" line.

After you disable the MSI on re(4), the MSI will not reported as being
enabled in 'pciconf -lvc'

Thanks, and so far so good. I'll give it a few more days, but it looks like this stopped the watchdog errors.

It looks like this setting did the trick, thanks! Should I keep it in place and close this ticket?

Well, I do want to enable MSI by default on re(4). I will give you a
patch to try later today.

Please test following patch:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/re_msi.diff

Using following command to patch:
cd /usr/src
fetch http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/re_msi.diff
patch -p 1 -i ./re_msi.diff

It is against the latest master:
c079e3c45b058bda25081e3357e6a764f8bf018e

And remove the hw.re.msi.enable="0" line from /boot/loader.conf

Well, I will disable MSI by default even for PCI-e chips. Thank you
for testing.

No problem. I'd be happy to test another patch if you decide to revisit this at some point.

I reverted the patch 3 days ago, updated to 19fe0477806ae874bdfcbed56e0e7437cb609aa0, and haven't seen any watchdog timeouts since
