Was going good for about a week now. I was told this was fixed in a previous version of Unraid, but today it caused my server to lock up completely making me do a unclean shutdown (parity check as we speak). I can't have that happening so I'm shutting down any fixed IP docker containers hoping that it will fix the problem. I'd like to put this down as a bug but need someone's verification before I do so. Thank you. Here's the Diagnostics.

It only happens on certain hardware/configurations.  Macvlan call traces have not been reproducible by the Docker networking author as it does not happen on any of his systems.

 

In my case, it only happened on br0.  As soon as I created a separate VLAN (br0.3) for dockers that needed their own IP address, all macvlan call traces disappeared and I have not seen them for months.

I reported a similar issue a while ago which at the time I suspected might have been related to the 10G Mellanox drivers I was using not playing nicely with macvlan.

 

 

I don't see any reference to the Mellanox drivers in your stack trace though; it looks like you're using Intel drivers. So maybe this is a more common issue than I'd assumed. I haven't really been following it since I last saw it in August. I can confirm at least that it was present in version 6.5.3. Is it safe to assume that you're running 6.6.3? If so, that begins to put a range on the affected software versions...

 

Anyway, as I mentioned in my post linked above, I just avoided the issue by removing VLANs and using multiple hardware NICs. I'm just chiming in here to report that I've seen this issue as well.

 

Cheers,

I can give this a shot and see what happens, I'm not opposed to testing if it fixes the issue.

I am on 6.6.2 at the moment but now that I have seen another call trace (thought it might have been fixed in 6.6.2) I'll go ahead and update after the parity check. Also the driver is Mellanox, I believe that is the mlx4 referenced above.

Ah yes, I do see the mlx4_core reference in the second trace message there. I must have made a typo when I searched the first time and didn't find anything.

 

So alright, is Mellanox a common element of this issue? @AcidReign, what drivers are you using? @Hoopster?

 

-A

 

No Mellanox in my case.  I am using only the built-in NICs on my ASRock motherboard; Intel i210 and Intel i219.  However, at least in my case, the physical hardware was not the issue as both br0 and br0.3 use the same physical NIC.  br0 resulted in call traces whereas br0.3 did not.

I have a Mellanox NIC on another server as well and have seen kernal panic once. This was without the use of a user defined static IP for dockers, which makes the argument of docker br0 being the issue a little more difficult. Being that it was a one time occurrence and didn't cause the system to lock up, I'm going to think of it as a fluke.

Well I did try to increase rx and tx buffers and had some interesting results that didn't happen before. Using ethtool -G eth0 rx 8192 tx 8192 I had this happen.

As you can see I got a little carried away at trying to use the command lol. Hope that this can help reproduce this issue for bug zapping.

Edit: Interestingly enough I tried this on my other server and it passed it through.

Edit 2: Updated to 6.6.3, reboot the server, ran ethtool -G eth0 rx 8192 tx 8192 and it went through without a kernel panic. Testing speeds again.

Yeah, it is not necessarily a br0 issue for everyone (it appears it was for me).  Others have had macvlan call traces on br1.  However, some combination of hardware, docker LAN configuration and, who knows what else, produces macvlan call traces for some users whereas others have never seen them.

 

The only common factor I can point to, at least to my knowledge, is that they only happen when dockers are assigned custom IP addresses.

Edit: Solved.. the plugin just checking the syslog for macvlan, just clear the syslog with cat /dev/null > /var/log/syslog and the warning is gone.

I have switch to ipvlan but i still get an warning from "Fix common problems"-plugin that says "macvlan call traces found"

Well, it came back!

Now i tried modprobe -r macvlan and then clear the syslog.
