Hello,
I am using debian 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 (2.6.32-21, 2.6.32-23) with
bridged veth networking.
When the veth devices are attached to the bridge, the following happens:
[ 825.400527] CT: 808: started
[ 825.491506] device veth808.0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 825.491577] vzbr0: port 6(veth808.0) entering forwarding state
[ 825.940139] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down
[ 825.960899] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state
then, 300 seconds later (it is always 300s),
[ 1127.620861] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: None
[ 1127.620922] e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO
[ 1127.621870] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state
and everything works for a while. Then the eth0 link again goes down
for 300 seconds, a.s.o.
[ 1866.448119] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down
[ 1866.465934] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state
[ 2168.196858] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: None
[ 2168.196902] e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO
[ 2168.197861] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state
[ 2845.696123] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down
[ 2845.714422] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state
[ 3147.340854] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: None
[ 3147.340899] e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO
[ 3147.341815] vzbr0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state
If I don't add the veth devices to the bridge (e.g. don't start the
containers), I have no problems.
I've also updated the e1000e driver from 1.0.2-k2 to 1.2.10-NAPI and
this didn't make a difference.
eth0 is a:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit
Network Connection (rev 02)
There is currently no firewall on the HN.

(why the TX dropped on the veth interfaces?)
Any clues as to what is happening here ?
TIA,
Matei
