2.4.9 UDP broke?

2.4.9 UDP broke?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: MD5

Hello linux-kernel,

  I am having very strange problems with 2.4.9 and UDP.  Basically,
  anything using UDP wont work.  Anything using TCP/ICMP works fine.
  I am not even enabling any kind of firewall code in the kernel so
  that shouldn't be the issue, and I have looked at pretty much
  everything I can think of to resolve this issue.  Can anybody either
  point me in the right direction or if needed request specific info
  to fix the problem?

May be it is not the kernel, I dont know but in my box
it works as normal

(I can use speakfreely ; it uses UDP and otehr program
too)

Well considering the only thing I changed in my configuration is the
kernel, I think its a problem there.  Went from 2.4.3-ac? to 2.4.9.
System is RedHat 7.1.. Maybe it has something to do with RedHats
inclusion of a broken compiler, I'll have to check on that when I get
into the office.

I do have 2.4.9 working fine on other systems too.  Strange.

Please don't trot out that tired old FUD again -
it just makes you look really silly...

I'm running 2.4.9 and 2.4.10-pre on a number
of Red Hat 7.1 boxes and nfs works fine, even
rwhod across a vpn is working fine.

I had a very similar experience. In my case it turned out that for some
reason no UDP packets above 5524 would come through (try pinging with
larger than default packet sizes). The solution was to restrict NFS to
5000 (actually 4096) size packets. I have not been able to figure out the
cause of this yet. (and yes, tcpdump was able to see them fine).

Re[4]: 2.4.9 UDP broke?

Hash: MD5

Hello volodya,

I found the answer to the problem today.  It has to do with a bug in
one of these options:

CONFIG_TULIP_MWI
CONFIG_TULIP_MMIO

Since the system is a older dual p100 I didn't really want to sit
through the 2 hours of compilation to "test" which one it is.  I'm
willing to bet its CONFIG_TULIP_MWI though since its still marked as
experimental.  With both of these options disabled 2.4.9 works fine on
that system though as it does on my other boxes.  Whoever maintains
the code for those two config options might want to do some testing.
I can provide more information about the system if needed.

Hmm, interesting. I'll check the latest version of tulip (as well as the
one on Donald Becker's website). Did you try them out already ?

Re: Re[4]: 2.4.9 UDP broke?

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Ironically, the latest "stable" version of the tulip driver on:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tulip is older than whats in 2.4.9.  I'm
willing to bet the latest "devel" is older too (they're dated June
15(devel), and February 19(stable).

You are absolutely correct - once I enabled both of these it works
great. My guess is that whoever tested the patches was concentrated on the
case when options were enabled.

Hello volodya,

If I enable both of these options though, UDP totally breaks for me.
So its definitely something in there.  Maybe I'll get some time and
test to see which option is actually doing the breaking.

After some testing: 2.4.6 and 2.4.8 require both of these options be
disabled. 2.4.9 wants them enabled. 

Furthemore: after I turned on these option on the only 2.4.9 kernel I
currently have I was able to ping all machines on the network (and they
were able to ping each other). However, before (when options were turned
off) none of the machines on the network could ping each other with
packets of size 6000, though I could see them with tcpdump.

NTP (which relies on UDP traffic to port #123) works fine here with
2.4.9. Check your packet filter setup, please.
