Dear, I experience some troubles with the igb device driver on FreeBSD 10-RC4. The kernel make a pagefault in the igb_tx_ctx_setup function when accessing to a IPv6 header. The network configuration is the following: - box acting as an IPv6 router - one interface with an IPv6 (igb0) - another interface with a vlan, and IPv6 on it (vlan0 on igb1) Vlan Hardware tagging is set on both interfaces. The packet that cause the crash come from igb0 and go to vlan0. After investigation, i see that the mbuf is split in two. The first one carry the ethernet header, the second, the IPv6 header and data payload. The split is due to the "m_copy" done in ip6_forward, that make the mbuf not writable and the "M_PREPEND" in ether_output that insert the new mbuf before the original one. The kernel crashes only if the newly allocated mbuf is at the end of a memory page, and no page is available after this one. So, it's extremly rare. I inserted a "KASSERT" into the function (see attached patch) to check this behavior, and it raises on every IPv6 forwarded packet to the vlan. The problem disapear if i remove hardware tagging. In the commit 256200, i see that pullups has been removed. May it be related ? Can you confirm the problem ?
