i40e AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULT

st6f9n — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 22:18:23 GMT

Hello,

one of our servers crashes regularly, apparently during heavy network load. The log files are then full of this message:

kernel: [514257.305733] i40e 0000:02:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0020 address=0x79ea8113f60 flags=0x0000]

This is the driver:

Does somebody has any idea ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="iommu=soft" is sometimes recommended in similar cases with IO_PAGE_FAULT. Maybe I should lower the speed from 10 Gbit/s to 1 Gbit/s as a test?

Thanks

PCIe lane used for XL710:

I don't know, this is the description: "2x RJ45 10GbE LAN ports (rear)" and there is something about "PCI-E 5.0" in the description

Is the XL710 prebuilt in the server or bought separately?: prebuilt

Hi st6f9n,

Thank you for your response.

According to the information, it is like an OEM related issues.

It is advisable for you to contact Supermicro(OEM) for further information.

You might need to update your ethernet driver and the best way is to contact the OEM as they have different configurations and versions.

Kindly let us know if you have any questions. Else if none, kindly confirm for the case closure.

Have you heard back from Supermicro? We are having a similar issue with our SUPERMICRO – 4U GPU A+ Server AS-4125GS-TNRT.
