Patch Name: PHNE_16999 Patch Description: s700 10.20 LAN products cumulative Patch Creation Date: 98/12/04 Post Date: 98/12/23 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: Networking.LAN-KRN Networking.LAN-RUN Networking.NW-ENG-A-MAN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Superseded Critical: Yes PHNE_16999: PANIC Without this patch, system may panic under heavy load and having low memory, as mentioned in Symptom 1. Without this patch, there is a likelihood of system crash when promiscuous mode is turned on and off repeatedly on Core 10BT lan card, as mentioned in Symptom 2. PHNE_14367: OTHER Without fix 1, DLPI type 2 applications (e.g. SNA) won't work over non-CKO FDDI. PHNE_14501: ABORT DLPI clone devices are not returned to free pool after close in PHNE_13585, hence after a certain number of operations utilities like lanadmin, linkloop etc. will fail as they will not be able to open /dev/dlpi. PHNE_13585: PANIC Fixes a panic in hp_dlpi_close. PHNE_12871: PANIC Fixes a panic in lan2_ru_restart and a panic with linkloop to ATM card. PHNE_12575: PANIC Fixes couple of panics in dlpi. PHNE_11703: OTHER The first fix allow inbound FDDI packet with certain MAC address to be accepted by DLPI. The second fix allows DLPI applications to receive control responses correctly even though another DLPI application is closing its stream. PHNE_11125: PANIC Fixes a panic in NIO Ethernet, when operating in promiscuous mode. PHNE_11051: OTHER Required for T600, and supersedes other critical patch. PHNE_10511: OTHER Avoids, excessive reset of lan interface rendering system unusable on the network Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHNE_16999 Symptoms: PHNE_16999: 1. System panic under heavy load and having low memory. 2. System panic when Core Ethernet lan card is put into promiscuous mode. 3. Change Core Ethernet and HP-PB Ethernet drivers to use schednetisrmq(). 4. Request to allow the MTU size on ethernet lan to be adjustable. 5. Request for removal of "rx_bad_addr" from "Inbound Discards" counter. 6. ER - A Tool to determine promiscuous mode is needed. 7. ATM interface named "el1000" is not displayed properly by lanscan. 8. lanscan -v report shared library error against ATM NICs. PHNE_14633: 1. No DELETE multicast requests were sent down to the driver when application issued a DELETE on a previously added multicast address. 2. Inconsistent behaviour by network drivers when promiscuous mode was enabled. 3. Enabling and disabling of multicast addresses failed on Token Ring drivers. 4. lanadmin needs easier way to reset MAC address to default. PHNE_14367: 1. DLPI type 2 won't work over FDDI devices that do not support the Checksum Offload feature (e.g. HSC and EISA FDDI) 2. linkloop returns ERANGE if MTU of link changed. PHNE_14501: 1. Defect in PHNE_13585, DLPI clone devices not returned to free pool after close. 2. DLPI command after DL_HP_HW_RESET may get ENXIO error. PHNE_13585: 1. Panic in hp_dlpi_close/detach. 2. lanadmin does not support mode and speed changes for 100BT cards. PHNE_12871: 1. System panic with data page fault in lan2_ru_restart. 2. IP multicast packets are received twice with lan3 driver 3. Linkloop on a ATM device panics when PHNE_12575 is installed. PHNE_12575: 1. Panic in hp_dlpi_delete_wakeup routine under stress. 2. Panic while operating in promiscuous mode. 3. DL_HP_MULTICAST_REQ/ACK support for drivers supporting IP level multicasting. 4. Wrong ifOper status displayed for Built-In lan card. 5. lanadmin command displays "%s" in the output, instead of the error string. 6. lanadmin command fails after sufficient changing of nmid/display commands. PHNE_11703: 1. Inbound data is dropped for certain FDDI, individual, MAC address. The msb of the MAC address is checked incorrectly when received by DLPI. 2. Application will hang due to two applications accessing the dlpi_wakeup_list at same time. Such as lanadmin will hang while waiting for reception of dlpi control response if other dlpi stream is closing. PHNE_11125: 1. Changing MTU to more than 4096 bytes on token ring fails. 2. NIO Ethernet operating in promiscuous mode panics. PHNE_11051: 1. Without this patch, NIO Ethernet will not work on T600. PHNE_10511: 1. Systems using builtin lan through External MAU see excessive resets. Applications trying to transmit a packet could see ENOLINK. 2. 'mrouted' tunneling fails on HP-PB 10BaseT driver. 3. Some LAN interfaces need reset, when the H/W address is changed.(Eg. HP-PB FDDI) 4. Some LAN interfaces require other operation to be performed with reset to bring back the interface UP. (Eg. HP-PB FDDI requires download operation during reset) PHNE_9277: Running netperf snap_script, the ipintr queue was filled and stayed filled. Ping then start to fail. The linkloop still ran fine over the link. However, the system did not seem to recover from the queue full condition. Defect Description: PHNE_16999: 1. Not checking for the return value of m_copy() can cause the system panic when system is heavily loaded and having the low memory. 2. System may panic when promiscuous mode for core-ethernet hardware is repeatedly turned on and off. This can happen due to a small window between turning off the promiscuous mode and accessing the promiscuous list array. 3. Core-Ethernet and HP-PB Ethernet drivers use "shednetisr()" and "schednetisrsq()" which can cause the imbalance between the traffic on the "netisr" processes. This can sometimes cause a severe performance impact. 4. Core Ethernet and HP-PB Ethernet does not allow the user to change the MTU of the link. With this limitation in the operating system, the customers will not be able to use the software/applications which require to the change MTU of the link. 5. The filter implementation in the HP-PB 10BT lan card firmware to filter the inbound packets was not working as expected. Due to which, the "rx_bad_addr" counter was getting incremented wrongly. This has been corrected in the driver. 6. A tool is required to determine if a lan interface is currently in the promiscuous mode. 7. The ATM interfaces numbered up to el999 are well displayed by lanscan command, but not el1000 or more. This is because, in lanscan command, the number of digits to use for display from the PPA/NMID is hardcoded as 3. 8. When ATM card is installed on a system, lanscan -v command reports that it can not open the shared library /usr/lib/lanscan/libpeatm.sl. This is because, HP DLPI does not support ATM drivers and they have their own DLPI layer and hence ATM drivers do not supply the shared library used by lanscan command. The lanscan command needs to check whether the corresponding driver supports HP DLPI or not. PHNE_14633: 1. Multicast DELETE requests were not sent down to the hardware level by LANC. This resulted in stale multicast addresses enabled in the hardware. This has been corrected. 2. There was no support for handling promiscuous data and the associated filtering at the LANC level. This was being implemented at the driver level which was not consistent across drivers. LANC has been enhanced to support this feature so that drivers need not implement handling of promiscuous data. All promiscuous data will be processed by LANC. 3. LANC expects the multicast addresses in the wire format. However, IP multicast addresses were passed on in the canonical format which was rejected by LANC. The fix now converts all multicast addresses into wire format before calling lanc routines to enable/disable multicast addresses. 4. lanadmin -A is enhanced to reset the MAC address to default. When the address string is DEFAULT, lanadmin restores the default address for the card. PHNE_14367: 1. The type 2 code has always assumed that the FDDI drivers support CKO feature. So when it builds the LLC header for FDDI, the CKO info is always prepended to it. This is incorrect for some recently introduced FDDI's that do not support CKO. 2. "linkloop" does not check the MTU on the PPA prior to sending out the test frame. If the customer has changed the MTU of the link, linkloop will fail unless the MTU size (or less) is specified via the -s parameter. This causes the MC/ServiceGuard cmlogconfig to fail when it shouldn't. The fix would be to check the mtu size via DL_HP_PPA_REQ (dl_mtu) or DL_INFO_REQ (dl_max_sdu) rather than using the default size for the mac type. PHNE_14501: 1. Due to a defect in close path of dlpi of PHNE_13585 dlpi clone devices will not be returned to free pool after close. Due to this reason after a certain number of operations, utilities like lanadmin, linkloop etc. will fail as they will not be able to open /dev/dlpi. 2. Process issuing DL_HP_HW_RESET was getting woken up after PORT_RESET phase of reset process. If a DLPI request is issued immediately after DL_HP_HW_RESET, ENXIO may be returned if the driver has not finished the whole reset process. PORT_RESET phase is now modified to wake up all entries in cmd_q other than the one corresponding to RESET process. The RESET process will be woken up by the process_looper after the loopback test. PHNE_13585: 1. hp_dlpi_close was reusing a variable after it is freed, also it was using a lock after freeing it. Access to the freed memory was causing the system panic. 2. An enhancement has been made in lanadmin to get and set driver specific options. This will support speed and mode changes for 100BT cards. PHNE_12871: 1. A typo in lan2_int_fr_rnr caused the driver to miss a call to lan2_rbd_supply. As a result, the rbd_act_ptr remained to be null. This led to a panic in lan2_ru_restart later on. 2. For broadcast and multicast packets IP normally sets a flag indicating driver should not loopback the packet. HP-PB Ethernet driver does not check to see whether loopback is required or not. This causes multiple packets to get delivered to IP. 3. Linkloop on ATM device panics when PHNE_12575 is installed due to the dlpi detach code assuming that Driver dependent data structure field in the hardware specific dlpi data structure points always to the ift structure of the lan. This is not true for some devices including ATM. This causes a panic due to an illegal pointer access. PHNE_12575: 1. Race condition between deletion of an entry in dlpi_wakeup_list and processing the entry causes panic in hp_dlpi_delete_wakeup. 2. If the promiscuous mode application does a close in the window between setting of lan_ift->promiscuous_filter and hp_dlpi_datap->promiscuous_flg, promiscuous mode will not be disabled during close, which causes a panic when processing the next inbound packet. 3. For drivers supporting IP level multicasting, the multicast address list is stored in a separate list. Hence dlpi should check if the driver supports IP level multicasting. If so it should return the multicast address list from this list while processing DL_HP_MULTICAST_REQ. 4. Sequence of setting IFF_UP flag and sending NMV_LINKUP event from Built-In lan driver causes the ifOPer status to be incorrect. 5. Due to a wrong call to 'printf' lanadmin command displays '%s' in output string instead of the error string. 6. dsname() function in lanadmin opens catalog file using catopen() but does not close the same on return. Hence if dsname() is called for sufficiently large number of times, number of open files will cross maxfiles limit, causing a failure in the next catopen(). PHNE_11703: 1. The checking of inbound packet was in wire format and should be in canonical format in hp_dlpi_intr_put() function. 2. The hp_dlpi_delete_wakeup(), if called by hp_dlpi_close(), will remove every entry in dlpi_wakeup_list. For those applications that are waiting for the response of control requests will not receive the response. In this case, the application will appear to hang. PHNE_11125: 1. DLPI uses hard coded value of 4096 bytes in the code, thereby limiting the maximum value of MTU to 4096. 2. The NIO Ethernet was trying to acquire a lock already held by it when operating in promiscuous mode, resulting in a panic. PHNE_11051: 1. 64-byte alignment changes to NIO Ethernet for T600 cache-line on 10.20 TFC. PHNE_10511: 1. When built-in lan interface returns No carrier + Late collision status in response to a transmit packet request, builtin lan driver treats the situation as carrier loss and resets the interface. The fix treats the situation as late collision, instead. 2. HP-PB Ethernet driver should be modified to support IP Multicasting. It is supported only on 10.10 release. It should support IPM on 10.20 release too. Without the IPM support, certain software (eg:gated, mrouted) functionality is limited. 3. Lanadmin calls the device specific reset function, if any, to do the reset operation after changing the H/W address. 4. Lanadmin calls the device specific reset function, if one is found, otherwise does the reset by itself. PHNE_9277: There was a window to enable netisr when ip input queue was filled. This work around to solve the reported problem by enabling netisr whenever receiving an incoming message.
