My setup:

Linux with start_network.sh (i.e ethos and uhcpd running)
Border router on samr21
Gnrc_networking node A
Gnrc_networking node B

I run a program that sends 20 UDP packets to my nodes every 20 sec.
After some time, instead of seeing:
got packet from fe80::46:a5ff:fe3d:fc3e port 58493
uhcp: push from fe80::46:a5ff:fe3d:fc3e:58493 prefix=2001:db8::/64
gnrc_uhcpc: uhcp_handle_prefix(): got same prefix again

uhcp client gives:
uhcp_client(): timeout waiting for reply
uhcp_client(): sending REQ...
...
In a loop.

EDIT
I thought it was uhcpd which was buggy but i think it is BR. I tried to ping interface 6 from Linux, no success.
I went deeper, communication goes over ethos and it arrives at

case ETHOS_FRAME_TYPE_DATA:
            if (dev->framesize) {
                dev->last_framesize = dev->framesize;
                dev->netdev.event_callback((netdev2_t*) dev, NETDEV2_EVENT_ISR, dev->netdev.isr_arg);
            }

dev->framesize so callback should be called. I don't know where to debug then?

In the other way, uhcp client (BR) sends data and uhcpd server on Linux receives every packet:
got packet from fe80::221:d3ff:fe60:5a8d port 12345
Then it tries to answer the request but unfortunately like the ping the answer does not go to uhcp client.

What's the problem, why can't Linux communicate to BR anymore?

If I reboot the BR, it works and I see again that uhcp client and server can communicates.
How can I debug it more?

@miri64, I don't know if it is a know issue? But the network crashes somewhere, can you help to debug a bit more? I'm on April release

EDIT:
I enabled DEBUG on gnrc_netdev2.c and gnrc_netdev2_eth.c:
When it works:

gnrc_netdev2: GNRC_NETDEV_MSG_TYPE_EVENT received
gnrc_netdev2: event triggered -> 2
gnrc_netdev2_eth: received packet from 6e:e4:6f:8a:ea:23 of length 118
gnrc_netdev2: waiting for incoming messages

When it does not work:

gnrc_netdev2: GNRC_NETDEV_MSG_TYPE_EVENT received
gnrc_netdev2: event triggered -> 2
gnrc_netdev2_eth: received packet from 6f:8a:ea:23:33:33 of length 86
gnrc_netdev2: unable to forward packet of type 0
gnrc_netdev2: waiting for incoming messages

As you can see the length and address have changed and I remarked that address has been shifted when it is not working. Both call are simple ping.

So the gist is, somehow everything is 0 if I see that correctly

Yes, I only keep ping6 from linux, it works for a while and then it does not work anymore, I see that packets get stopped with gnrc_netdev2: unable to forward packet of type 0

How can I debug more? Can the gnrc_pktsnip_t be corrupted somewhere?

What could cause the packet to be malformed every time?

@smlng, I don't think so, because packet is locked in netdev2 so before ipv6 layer if I'm right?

It is possible that ethos' state somehow get's corrupted.

biboc commented Jul 6, 2016

@kaspar030, ok, how can I check that? ethos on linux or BR?
I can easily reproduce it by keeping a ping on 2001:db8:: node or even interface 6 on BR

Here is a gist with some more debugs:
https://gist.github.com/bapclenet/2fa3c4185633d827980109aab0003644
You'll see the ping working at the beginning and failing at the end.

@kaspar030, on ethos, is there some controls that a packet is correctly arrived on BR before sending a new one?

biboc commented Jul 6, 2016

I tried at 9600Baud and with 48MHz or 8Mhz, it does not change, pkt gets corrupted at some point.

Did someone try to continuously ping a node from linux (with Global IP)?

In the irq_handler of UART, I checked if I have an error:

static inline void irq_handler(int dev)
{
    SercomUsart *uart = _uart(dev);

    if (uart->STATUS.reg & SERCOM_USART_STATUS_BUFOVF) {
        printf("SERCOM_USART_STATUS_BUFOVF\n");
        uart->STATUS.reg = SERCOM_USART_STATUS_BUFOVF;
    }

And yes BUFOVF is raised each time before it starts to not working

I think, I understand the bug, when I constantly ping a node, it sends a ping every 1sec. UHCP sends a request every 1min and if by bad luck uhcp server sends answer at the same time as my ping, Linux being much quicker than samr21, linux sends both message very quickly and RIOT does not have time to deal with them.
It is an assumption, but adding a little delay in the loop in linux ethos helps to not have collision.
The ideal solution would be to have a queue in ethos linux and before sending a new message it should get an ACK from ethos RIOT.
@kaspar, did you think about that when you wrote ethos?

biboc commented Jul 8, 2016

Tell me if I'm wrong but the packet sent by serial to netdev is allocated somewhere or it is still allocated in the ringbuffer of ethos? If it is kept in the ringbuffer and a new packet arrives before the other has finished to be transmitted, the packet is overwritten? @kaspar030

I don't think this issue is related because this is more about ethos communication over serial.

Did you try to send many packets in a row to see if the communication is still on?

RIOT-2016.10 - Release Notes
============================
RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that supports a range of
devices that are typically found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit
microcontrollers, 16-bit microcontrollers and light-weight 32-bit processors.

RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, real-time
capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API access,
independent of the underlying hardware (this API offers partial POSIX
compliance).

RIOT is developed by an international open source community which is
independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
business models around the free open-source software platform provided by
RIOT.

About this release:
===================
This release provides a lot of new features as well as it  fixes several major
bugs. Among these new features are the new simplified network socket API
called sock, the GNRC specific CoAP implementation gcoap and several new
packages: TinyDTLS, the Aversive++ microcontroller library for robotics, the
u8g2 graphic library, and nanocoap.
Using the new sock API an implementation of the Simple Time Network Protocol
(SNTP) was also introduced, allowing for time synchronization between nodes.
New platforms include the Arduino Uno, the Arduino Duemilanove, the Arduino
Zero, SODAQ Autonomo, and the Zolertia remote (rev. B).
The most significant bug fix was done in native which led to a significantly
more robust handling of ISRs and now allows for at least 1,000 native
instances running stably on one machine.

About 263 pull requests with about 398 commits have been merged since the last
release and about 42 issues have been solved. 37 people contributed with code
in 100 days. 1006 files have been touched with 166500 insertions and 26926
deletions.

Fixed Issues from the last release
==================================
 #534:  native debugging on osx fails
 #2071: native: *long* overdue fixes
 #3341: netdev2_tap crashes when hammered
 #5007: gnrc icmpv6: Ping reply goes out the wrong interface
 #5432: native: valgrind fails

Known Issues
============
Networking related issues
-------------------------
 #3075: nhdp: unnecessary microsecond precision: NHDP works with timer values
       of microsecond precision which is not required. Changing to lower
       precision would save some memory.
 #4048: potential racey memory leak: According to the packet buffer stats,
       flood-pinging a multicast destination may lead to a memory leak due to
       a race condition. However, it seems to be a rare case and a completely
       filled up packet buffer was not observed.
 #4388: POSIX sockets: open socket is bound to a specific thread: This was an
       inherit problem of the conn API under GNRC. Since the POSIX sockets are
       still based on conn for this release, this issue persists
 #4527: gnrc_ipv6: Multicast is not forwarded if routing node listens to the
       address (might still be fixable for release, see #5729, #5230: gnrc
       ipv6: multicast packets are not dispatched to the upper layers)
 #5016: gnrc_rpl: Rejoining RPL instance as root after reboot messes up routing
 #5055: cpuid: multiple radios will get same EUI-64 Nodes with multiple
       interfaces might get the same EUI-64 for them since they are generated
       from the same CPU ID.
 #5656: Possible Weakness with locking in the GNRC network stack: For some
       operations mutexes to the network interfaces need to get unlocked in
       the current implementation to not get deadlocked. Recursive mutexes as
       provided in #5731 might help to solve this problem.
 #5748: gnrc: nodes crashing with too small packet buffer: A packet buffer of
       size ~512 B might lead to crashes. The issue describes this for several
       hundret nodes, but agressive flooding with just two nodes was also
       shown to lead to this problem.
 #5858: gnrc: 6lo: potential problem with reassembly of fragments: If one frame
       gets lost the reassembly state machine might get out of sync

 ### NDP is not working properly
 #4499: handle of l2src_len in gnrc_ndp_rtr_sol_handle: Reception of a router
       solicitation might lead to invalid zero-length link-layer addresses in
       neighbor cache.
 #5005: ndp: router advertisement sent with global address: Under some
       circumstances a router might send RAs with GUAs. While they are ignored
       on receive (as RFC 4861 specifies), RAs should have link-local
       addresses and not even be send out this way.
 #5122: NDP: global unicast address on non-6LBR nodes disappears after a while:
       Several issues (also see #5760) lead to a global unicast address
       effectively being banned from the network (disappears from neighbor
       cache, is not added again)
 #5467: ipv6 address vanishes when ARO (wrongly) indicates DUP caused by
       outdated ncache at router
 #5539: Border Router: packet not forwarded from ethos to interface 6
 #5790: ND: Lost of Global IPV6 on node after sending lot of UDP frame from BR

Timer related issues
--------------------
 #4841: xtimer: timer already in the list: Under some conditions an xtimer can
       end up twice in the internal list of the xtimer module
 #4902: xtimer: xtimer_set: xtimer_set does not handle integer overflows well
 #5338: xtimer: xtimer_now() not ISR safe for non-32-bit platforms.
 #5928: xtimer: usage in board_init() crashes: some boards use the xtimer in
       there board_init() function. The xtimer is however first initialized in
       the auto_init module which is executed after board_init()
 #6052: tests: xtimer_drift gets stuck: xtimer_drift application freezes after
       ~30-200 seconds

native related issues
---------------------
 #495:  native not float safe: When the FPU is used when an asynchronous context
       switch occurs, either the stack gets corrupted or a floating point
       exception occurs.
 #2175: ubjson: valgind registers "Invalid write of size 4" in unittests
 #4590: pkg: building relic with clang fails.
 #5796: native: tlsf: early malloc will lead to a crash: TLSF needs pools to be
       initialized (which is currently expected to be done in an application).
       If a malloc is needed before an application's main started (e.g. driver
       initialization) the node can crash, since no pool is allocated yet.

other platform related issues
-----------------------------
 #1891: newlib-nano: Printf formatting does not work properly for some numberic
       types: PRI[uxdi]64, PRI[uxdi]8 and float are not parsed in newlib-nano
 #2006: cpu/nrf51822: timer callback may be fired too early
 #2143: unittests: tests-core doesn't compile for all platforms: GCC build-ins
       were used in the unittests which are not available with msp430-gcc

 #4522: avsextrem: linker sometimes doesn't find `bl_init_clks()`
 #4560: make: clang is more pedantic than gcc oonf_api is not building with
       clang. (Partly solved by #4593)
 #4694: drivers/lm75a: does not build
 #4737: cortex-m: Hard fault after a thread exits (under some circumstances)
 #4822: kw2xrf: packet loss when packets get fragmented
 #4876: at86rf2xx: Simultaneous use of different transceiver types is not
       supported
 #4954: chronos: compiling with -O0 breaks
 #4866: not all GPIO driver implementations are thread safe: Due to non-atomic
       operations in the drivers some pin configurations might get lost.
 #5009: RIOT is saw-toothing in energy consumption (even when idling)
 #5103: xtimer: weird behavior of tests/xtimer_drift: xtimer_drift randomly
       jumps a few seconds on nrf52
 #5361: cpu/cc26x0: timer broken
 #5405: Eratic timings on iotlab-m3 with compression context activated

       a race condition. However, it seems to be a rare case and a completely
       filled up packet buffer was not observed.
 RIOT-OS#4388: POSIX sockets: open socket is bound to a specific thread: This was an
       inherit problem of the conn API under GNRC. Since the POSIX sockets are
       still based on conn for this release, this issue persists
 RIOT-OS#4527: gnrc_ipv6: Multicast is not forwarded if routing node listens to the
       address (might still be fixable for release, see RIOT-OS#5729, RIOT-OS#5230: gnrc
       ipv6: multicast packets are not dispatched to the upper layers)
 RIOT-OS#5016: gnrc_rpl: Rejoining RPL instance as root after reboot messes up routing
 RIOT-OS#5055: cpuid: multiple radios will get same EUI-64 Nodes with multiple
       interfaces might get the same EUI-64 for them since they are generated
       from the same CPU ID.
 RIOT-OS#5656: Possible Weakness with locking in the GNRC network stack: For some
       operations mutexes to the network interfaces need to get unlocked in
       the current implementation to not get deadlocked. Recursive mutexes as
       provided in RIOT-OS#5731 might help to solve this problem.
 RIOT-OS#5748: gnrc: nodes crashing with too small packet buffer: A packet buffer of
       size ~512 B might lead to crashes. The issue describes this for several
       hundret nodes, but agressive flooding with just two nodes was also
       shown to lead to this problem.
 RIOT-OS#5858: gnrc: 6lo: potential problem with reassembly of fragments: If one frame
       gets lost the reassembly state machine might get out of sync

 ### NDP is not working properly
 RIOT-OS#4499: handle of l2src_len in gnrc_ndp_rtr_sol_handle: Reception of a router
       solicitation might lead to invalid zero-length link-layer addresses in
       neighbor cache.
 RIOT-OS#5005: ndp: router advertisement sent with global address: Under some
       circumstances a router might send RAs with GUAs. While they are ignored
       on receive (as RFC 4861 specifies), RAs should have link-local
       addresses and not even be send out this way.
 RIOT-OS#5122: NDP: global unicast address on non-6LBR nodes disappears after a while:
       Several issues (also see RIOT-OS#5760) lead to a global unicast address
       effectively being banned from the network (disappears from neighbor
       cache, is not added again)
 RIOT-OS#5467: ipv6 address vanishes when ARO (wrongly) indicates DUP caused by
       outdated ncache at router
 RIOT-OS#5539: Border Router: packet not forwarded from ethos to interface 6
 RIOT-OS#5790: ND: Lost of Global IPV6 on node after sending lot of UDP frame from BR

Timer related issues
--------------------
 RIOT-OS#4841: xtimer: timer already in the list: Under some conditions an xtimer can
       end up twice in the internal list of the xtimer module
 RIOT-OS#4902: xtimer: xtimer_set: xtimer_set does not handle integer overflows well
 RIOT-OS#5338: xtimer: xtimer_now() not ISR safe for non-32-bit platforms.
 RIOT-OS#5928: xtimer: usage in board_init() crashes: some boards use the xtimer in
       there board_init() function. The xtimer is however first initialized in
       the auto_init module which is executed after board_init()
 RIOT-OS#6052: tests: xtimer_drift gets stuck: xtimer_drift application freezes after
       ~30-200 seconds

native related issues
---------------------
 RIOT-OS#495:  native not float safe: When the FPU is used when an asynchronous context
       switch occurs, either the stack gets corrupted or a floating point
       exception occurs.

 RIOT-OS#4590: pkg: building relic with clang fails.
 RIOT-OS#5796: native: tlsf: early malloc will lead to a crash: TLSF needs pools to be
       initialized (which is currently expected to be done in an application).
       If a malloc is needed before an application's main started (e.g. driver
       initialization) the node can crash, since no pool is allocated yet.

#6064 was merged, @biboc can you test if this is still an issue?

I'm sorry @kYc0o , I won't be able to test this for now.
I don't think #6064 is related to this bug.
Currently, with a small sleep (50ms) before sending a packet from ethos to BR, there are no problem.
This problem may exist due to hardware configuration and not ethos software so if nobody encounters it, I would vote to close this issue.

I have no time now to test it unfortunately
This issue is very old and IMO should be removed

I'll try to see what I can do, once I'm through with testing for #5790.

I actually think this was covered in my earlier tests for #7925, unless I'm missing something. But since you @biboc as OP also say it should be closed, I close it now (untested, but pretty confident that it is fixed).
