Update on e1000 troubles (over-heating!)

[Ben Greear]

I believe I have figured out why the e1000 crashed my machine
after .5 - 1 hours:  The NIC was over-heating.  I measured one of
the NICs after the machine crashed with an external (cheap) temp
probe.  It registered right at 50 degrees C, and this was about 15-30
seconds after it crashed.

The dual e1000 NIC I have seems to run much cooler, and has been
running at 430Mbps bi-directional on both ports for about 6 hours now
with no obvious problems.

So, I'm going to try to purchase some heat sinks and glue them onto
the e1000 server nics, to see if that fixes the problem.

Hope this proves useful to anyone experiencing similar strange
crashes!

Thanks,
Ben

I have a pair of Compaq e1000's which have never overheated, and I use
them for heavy duty iSCSI testing and designing of drivers.  These are
massive 66/64 cards but still nothing like what you are reporting.

I will look some more at the issue soon.

It seems like the prerequisite to reproduce it is you beat the NIC heavily
with a lot of packets/sec and then run it at that sustained rate for at
least 30 minutes. isci would tend to use MTU sized packets which will
not be that effective.

Re: Update on e1000 troubles (over-heating!)

[Andre Hedrick]

However doing a data integrity test with a pattern buffer
write-verify-read on multi-lun, multi-session, and multiple connections
per session, while issuing load-balancing commands (ie thread tag) over
each session to roast the bandwidth of the line should be enough.

Now toss in injected errors to randomly fail data pdu's and calling a
sync-and-steering layer to scan the header and or data digests to execute
a within connection recovery, regardless if the reason, should be enough
to warm up the beast.

If that is not enough, I can toss in multi-initiators all with the
features above or invoke the interoperablity modes to add the cisco and
ibm initiator (both limited to error recovery level zero, while pyx's is
capable of error recovery level one and part of two).

Please let me know if I need to throttle it harder.

I can reproduce my crash using mtu sized pkts running only 50Mbps send + receive
on 2 nics.  It took over-night to do it though.  Running as hard as I can with
MTU packets will crash it as well, and much quicker.

Interestingly enough, the tg3 NIC (netgear 302t), registered 57 deg C between
the fins of it's heat sink in the 32-bit slots.  Makes me wonder if my PCI bus
is running too hot :P

Dave says I'm wierd and no one else sees these bizarre problems, btw :)

More trouble-shooting to follow this next week.

Thanks,
Ben

The only case where I'm really concerned about the health
of your PCI controller is the most recent case you've
reported to me where pci_find_capability(pdev, PCI_CAP_ID_PM)
fails.  That is just completely bizarre.

I hope your boards aren't being permanently harmed by your box which
is overheating.:(

So is there a correlation with packet count then?

Does the problem happen with the tg3?

Re: Update on e1000 troubles (over-heating!)

[jamal]

It does seem like you need a lot of packets over a period of time
to recreate it. So if what you are trying to do can achieve that,
you should reproduce it. How many connections and sessions can you
support? BTW, does iscsi call for a zero-copy receive?

   Does the problem happen with the tg3?

He gets hangs in one box, inoperable PCI config space accesses for the
cards in another box.

No, running at slower speeds (50Mbps), the packet count was well over
4 billion (ie it successfully wrapped 32-bits).  At higher speeds, it
crashes before the 32-bit wrap, generally.  It also does not coorelate
to bytes-sent/received, or anything else that I could think of to look at.

As Dave mentioned, tg3 locks up almost immediately (like within 30 seconds),
and in the meantime, it's spitting out errors that are 'impossible'.  The
messages I sent a day or two ago.

I may have cooked my cards, or something like that, because one of
the tg3's do not work in my other machine now.  Still trouble-shooting that one.

That was exactly the behaviour I noticed.  I believe it's because when you
run two side-by-side, they cook each other (I'm assuming you didn't run
2 2-ports side-by-side)

Try strapping a fan on them somehow and I bet all your troubles go
away (and maybe your .ibm email will shame Intel into putting heat-sinks
and/or small fans on their NICs... ;)

(I ran two Netgear 302t NICs (tigon-3) side-by-side for 4 days at max speed, and they
  didn't drop a single packet, even though their heat-sinks were too hot to
  touch!)

The fan did help, and Andi is right, the chip was much hotter than what
my probe read (I was gently pushing it against the top of the chip, cause it
was too hot to really press my finger against it to get good contact :))

With the fan blowing on the chips, it has been perfect.  This implies to me
that if you are going to run the e1000, you need significant air-flow over
the chipset, and the generic 2U chassis that I have is definately inadequate,
partially because the MB is so big that the fans are too far away from the
PCI slots...  This is all doubly true if you are running two NICs side-by-side,
which is what I was doing.

I am also considering glueing heat-sinks onto the main chip, which may make it
work in more marginal environments.

I get some strange e1000 failures too.  It usually involves the 
watchdog kicking them back into order, but sometimes they'll stay 
offline for a while.  Heat would explain it, though, because it only 
happens when I'm actually using the cards for a benchmark.  I figured 
that it was either my cables, or a shoddy switch.

The new dual-port e1000 that I have doesn't seem to have this problem, 
even though I'm running 4 times more traffic than the singles that I 
had.

The datasheet's for the card, so the operating temperature is surely 
ambient, not die temperature. "Ambient measured how?" would be a 
reasonable question, though.

The thermometer he used likely showed a much lower temperature than what was 
actually on the die. 5-10 C more are not unlikely. It's hard to measure chip
temperatures accurately without an on die thermal diode or special kit.
So I would expect that when an external normal thermometer showed 50C 
it was already operating out of spec.

Ben, I checked the datasheet for the part shown in the lspci dump, and it
shows an operating temperature of 0-55 degrees C.  You said you measured 50
degrees C, so you're within the safe range.  Did the fans help?

Here is the lspci information, both -x and -vv.  This is with two of
the e1000 single-port NICS side-by-side.  I have also strapped a P-IV
CPU fan on top of the two cards to blow some air over them....running

Ben, please send lspci -x on the hot nic.
