Re: [RPI3B+ & Ethernet On Board Card]

Hello Stefan,

I am sorry I did not report the issue to linux-netdev mailing list.
I can simply explain why :
    - it did submit to github repo which seams to be in charge of the 
dev + provides a workaround
    - after a few hours of reading 1.5 years of comments for this issue 
to find the commands for the workaround, it did miss the end of your email.
    - it was not obvious for me that linux-netdev is a mailing list, 
and by the way I don't know how to send this issue to the mailing list 
(google did not help me on that ..)

Thanks
Fox

OK,
upgrade done, running now kernel 5.4.7-200.fc31, same issue with scp.
this sounds like a known issue [1]. There is at least a workaround [2].

[1] - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2482
[2] -
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/5f0e4c1cc51a2aee86b2a554b65cb0a7909a6e02

Should I open an issue on readhat bugzilla or kernel bugzilla ?
It would be the best to report this to linux-netdev and the lan78xx
maintainer.

Thanks
Stefan

I am trying this small test

       in another shell
           cd /net/NFSSERVER/directories_path/

in the first shell each second, I have a ls command running
when I launch the second command, I have no more updates ( ls is
hanged)
whatever the configuration ....
and dd is running with an output such as

with PI3B I was able to ctrl-c the dd command, and ls restarts to loop

with PI3B+ & usb ethenet card I was able to ctrl-c the dd command, and
ls restarts to loop

with RPI3B+ & natif ethernet I cannot ctrl-c the dd command I needed to
kill -9 the dd process and I got these messages from journal (and ls
restarts to loop)

I am also doing the test

generating a 4GB file locally and scp this file to the NFS server

RPI3B     : 100% 4000MB   8.2MB/s   08:06
RPI3B+ & usb ethernet         : 100% 4000MB   8.8MB/s   07:32
RPI3B+ & native ethernet     : scp freezes after a few very slow MB
transfered  : "5%  216MB 4.7MB/s"
and finally I got
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
lost connection

I don't think this is a NFS issue but more generaly an issue with the
driver of the native ethernet card ??
Quite possibly a combination of driver issues with your particular
setup.

We don't do any direct development on the drivers, we simply ship
upstream kernel and drivers as we don't have the resources to that
with the RPi or any other arm device.

That said there was some fixes in the 5.4 series on the ethernet
driver shipped on the 3B+ and the current stable kernel is 5.4.7

You don't state which kernel you're running.

I have exactly the same behaviour with all the RPIs.
Are they all 3B+ devices?

When trying to access a NFS server ( perfectly working with my
laptops
running fedora X86) with a ls command when a huge transfer is on
going,
I have a lot of "NFS server not responding" in journal and ls is
hanged.

I tried to replace the onboard ethernet card with a USB 1GB
ethernet and
I  don't have this issue at all.

I also tried to change port on the switch with the same result ( not
working with on board card, working with USB one)

I also had such network issue with Fedora 30.
Which kernel are you running with F-30? Are you stating you see the
same issue as on F-31.

Are you aware of such a behavior, if not I will open an issue.
Not had one reported, and there are others using NFS on their
Raspberry Pis. We would need a LOT more information than what you've
supplied, the problem with NFS issues is that they are often very
dependent on the local setup, client/server/switch/network config etc
so are often hard to replicate, especially without a lot of extra
details.
