System freeze during downloads


I've had an issue for some time now where the entire system will freeze when doing heavy downloading. The problem is most apparent when downloading torrents (currently using Deluge), as it will freeze within minutes of starting. However I've also had it happen while Steam is running updates, and even when I load up a heavy page in Firefox. What would be the best way to go about diagnosing this problem?

I'm currently running Slackware-current, although I've had the same problem in Slackware-14.1

Have you verified that your RAM is in good shape?
Many liveCDs let you run memtest86+ at bootup.

Yep, and it all checks out.

I'm able to reproduce the problem fairly reliably by running Deluge. It freezes a couple of seconds after running. I'm trying to see if it's hitting any particular bandwidth or number of connections when the system does freeze.

Post the output of 'cat /proc/interrupts'.

What are the temperatures like for the machine, no overheat ?

Temperatures are all fine, generally around 36C with nothing else running.

Interrupts are as follows:

Do you have multiple drives you could test downloading to? If so, does it occur on all of them or just one particular drive?

Hmmm...
I can't speak to Steam, but regarding Deluge...it's fairly far outside Slackware's native realm dependencies-wise. I'm curious if you have ever tried Transmission.
In a full Slackware installation, all dependencies are already met.
If you're able to download "heavily" using transmission without the lock-up, it might be a software issue with Deluge.

Well, I haven't experienced the issue with Steam/browser recently, so perhaps it was a different issue addressed in a patch. I'll focus on the torrents for now, since it seems reliably reproducible.
I guess I could give Transmission a try. I wasn't a fan of it back in the day, but it seems to have moved along. (KTorrent is included with Slackware too.)
I'll also try pointing it to some other hard drives and get back to you with the results.

Sorry for the late update, but it's been a busy week, so I didn't get a chance to test this out until now.
Transmission exhibits the same issue as Deluge did. Interestingly enough, it took a little more time for the freeze to occur running Transmission alone than when running Transmission alongside Steam.
I also got a freeze when running Steam alone. (Firefox was also running at the time, but was on a static, text-only page.) It seemed like Steam had some downloads queued, although I don't know if they were actually trying to download when the freeze occurred.
The freeze occurs both for the current hard drive, as well as any others I've tried.
I've checked availability, and my main hard drive has plenty of room both on my home partition and my root partition. The /tmp directory is crowded, but there's plenty of hard drive space.

Something to consider is that whenever this freeze occurs, if I try to shut down by just hitting the power button (not holding), it unfreezes and does a regular shutdown. (Sending sigterms to the running programs normally.) This also works when I use the "magic" sys-req keys to send "reisub" to shut down. (Sending only alt-sysreq-r doesn't seem to unfreeze the keyboard, however, as I can't use this to simply change to TTY2 or something, to work with the console.)

Anything in the logs when it happens, since you can unfreeze the system ? Check '/var/log/messages' and syslog.

Also, what ethernet card drivers are you using ? Check '/sbin/lspci -k'.

I'm currently thinking that it could be an unstable ethernet card driver.

The interrupts look ok. Sometimes bad hardware or drivers will lead to a lot of interrputs on one line or spurious interrupts.

Have you tried logging in remotely and running top to see if something has the CPU peaked? With my system, if I find general slowdowns, I can usually find a trace of it in the top output (unless it's just related to harddisk thrashing -- I'd expect there's a program to monitor hard drive usage by app, but I've never looked into it).

Here are the outputs to messages and syslog. Note that the issue occurs between 7:31 and 7:43. (Closer to 7:43, as I shut down at 7:43.)

Note that the failed ata write commands at 7:31 are likely unrelated, as I have a batch of them for every boot up.

I just tried connecting via SSH during a freeze. SSH was unable to find the host, but when I hit the power button to initiate shutdown, my other computer was able to briefly connect long enough to ask for the password. Then the connection was broken as the computer continued the shutdown process.

Here is a second collection of logs to view (for correlation):

Note that there doesn't seem to be any error in syslog that matches the timeframe (as the reboot happened at 9:02, as you can see in messages). The ata errors are from the previous boot, and the stuff from 9:03 on is the reboot after the freeze. I included the full boot cycle all the way up to the point I posted this message for syslog, so you can see that the errors line up with the prevous boot. (I tagged it with [REBOOT OCCURRED HERE] )

I recognize this frustrating problem having experienced it in the past (2007-2008 or so) and was never able to find what caused it. The reason for this is that it is very hard to pinpoint what triggers these error-messages as a quick google-search on "failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED" will show. Most of these surface under I/O pressure as happens in your case as well.

My feeling is that you probably need to look whether this is a hardware problem

1) does your hard-drive pass a full smartctl test?
2) does the problem remain if you swap out the SATA cable?

btw) On my system both these tests didn't give an answer. In the end it seemed to be a firmware problem of the SATA-controller not liking a specific series of hard-disks. After throwing those hard-disks out of my computer the problem disappeared. When I tried these same disks recently on a new motherboard it still had issues, so probably a firmware problem of the hard-disks itself in my case.

I'm fairly sure those errors are unrelated to the problem, as they occur at every boot up, whether the freeze occurred previously or not. At the moment they don't seem to be an issue.
I'll run the smartctl test just to be sure, but this seems to be more of a network related issue.
