Bug#709616: floods the network with pause packets
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.8.13-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainers,
With Linux 3.8, my computer starts (after some time) flooding its
network interface with pause packets, effectively freezing it and
other network-dependent computers connected to the same switch.
When I disconnect it from the switch, the other computers resume their
operations. But the faulty computer is still frozen.
When I connect directly my laptop to the computer, and run tcpdump on
the laptop, I see:
> 12:09:03.242511 MPCP, Opcode Pause, length 46
> 0x0000: 0180 c200 0001 3cd9 2b79 81b8 8808 0001
> 0x0010: 0650 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
> 0x0020: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
> 0x0030: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
A lot of them. Two per millisecond. Indefinitely. Meanwhile, the
computer is unresponsive. Until I forcibly reboot it.
This bug started after an upgrade to a 3.8 kernel from experimental,
during the freeze. I don't know exactly how to trigger it. I've
observed times between boot and bug ranging from 1 day to 1 week.
I downgraded to 3.2 (wheezy) and saw no problem for 2 weeks. After a
reboot with the 3.8 kernel that is currently in unstable, the bug
happened again after 1 day. Hence, the 3.8 kernel is unusable for me
and I have to stick to the 3.2 one.
A colleague of mine reported similar issues on the same hardware with
Ubuntu but he didn't investigate.
Cheers,

Stéphane
