Hello,

I am using up to date Armbian - Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.69-meson64
Linux version 4.19.69-meson64 (root@builder) (gcc version 7.4.1 20181213 [linaro-7.4-2019.02 revision 56ec6f6b99cc167ff0c2f8e1a2eed33b1edc85d4] (Linaro GCC 7.4-2019.02)) #5.95 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 2 01:21:39 CEST 2019.

 

I have encountered Ethernet interface lockup on medium traffic (after 30s-120s when copying big files from external usb disk by sshfs - 240Mb/s).

At high/medium Ethernet traffic the issue always occurs.

It is most likely caused by some kernel update because I didn't have such problem before.

Similar issue: https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel/issues/27

I see this behaviour with 4.19.69-meson64, too.  Switched back to 4.19.57-meson64. 

 

 

Does anyone see this behavior on Kernel 5.3x?

Hmmm. I dont use sshfs - but samba/cifs and I copied

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1031158598 Nov 12  2015  Starfighter.mp4
from my video-share

[ 6151.533916] CIFS: Attempting to mount //192.168.6.xxx/video

without any errors to the local sdcard.

 

I did compile today the following current version:

Armbian Buster with Linux 5.3.13-meson64
package bsp-kernel[19.11.3] u-boot[19.11.3] dtb[19.11.3] firmware[19.11.3] config[19.11.3]
branch[current]

 

Thank you, 5.3.11-meson64 runs fine for two days now! 

compiled today Armbian_19.11.3_Odroidc2_buster_dev_5.4.1.img

and it does boot and doesnt hang/timeout at a 350MB cifs/samba copy  

 

Now in test as a second Pihole.

 

armbianmonitor -u
System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to http://ix.io/23hZ
 

Issue fixed with Armbian (19.11.3) and kernel upgrade to 5.3.11.
