So, we have a bit of a problem, this is on sparc64: [423475.740836] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[81d330] __skb_flow_get_ports+0x70/0xe0 [423475.755756] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.17.0+ #2 [423475.767854] Call Trace: [423475.772877] [0000000000433288] kernel_unaligned_trap+0x368/0x5c0 [423475.785203] [000000000042a824] sun4v_do_mna+0x84/0xa0 [423475.795624] [0000000000406cd0] sun4v_mna+0x5c/0x68 [423475.805521] [000000000081d330] __skb_flow_get_ports+0x70/0xe0 [423475.817323] [000000000081d6ac] __skb_flow_dissect+0x1ac/0x460 [423475.829128] [0000000000843c98] eth_get_headlen+0x38/0xa0 [423475.840083] [0000000010064d54] igb_poll+0x8d4/0xf60 [igb] [423475.851184] [00000000008243c8] net_rx_action+0xa8/0x1c0 The chip DMA's to the beginning of a frag page and (unless timestamps are enabled) that's where the ethernet header begins. So any larger than 16-bit access to the IP and later headers will be unaligned. We have various ways we can deal with this based upon the capabilities of the chips involved. Can we configure the IGB to put 2 "don't care" bytes at the beginning of the packet? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
