It seems some other counters are also incorrect: rx_over_errors: 18446744072336037492 tx_fifo_errors: 94360692725424 tx_heartbeat_errors: 18446744072658293152 Upgrading my e1000e driver to 3.3.5.10-NAPI has fixed the problem Is this driver update part of the Linux kernel as shipped with Fedora? This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: since upgrading to fedora 26, the tx_dropped counter as reported by ethtool is extremely high (higher than pythons sys.maxint, which I noticed as our metric collector can't handle values higher than that. ifconfig reports a value of 0 for dropped: eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet <IP> netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast <broadcast> ether <MAC> txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 9445 bytes 3157060 (3.0 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 9715 bytes 2886494 (2.7 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 memory 0xef400000-ef420000 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 26 Kernel 4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64 ethtool 4.11-1 and 4.8 e1000e version 3.2.6-k, firmware 0.13-4 How reproducible: Reset your interface counters, then check your tx_dropped counter Steps to Reproduce: 1. ethtool -S eth0 | grep tx_dropped 2. ifdown eth0 2. modprobe -r e1000e 3. modprobe e1000e 4. ifup eth0 5. ethtool -S eth0 | grep tx_dropped Actual results: tx_dropped: 18446621232006148224 tx_dropped: 18446621232170529792 Expected results: tx_dropped: 18446621232006148224 tx_dropped: 0 Additional info: Not sure if it's ethtool or the e1000e driver that's at fault here, ifconfig seems to report the correct value which implies it's ethtool Please feel free to smack me down if I'm interpreting any of this incorrectly! Thanks in advance, Ross
