I can confirm this "Corrupted MAC on input" bug on i386 desktop version of Ubuntu 9.10 karmic. Silent file corruption also happens when downloading files using HTTP or FTP protocols. This bug is easily reproducible.
The computer on which this bug manifests itself is an Asus Eee PC 1000HE with 2 GB of RAM and an Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (1969:1026). I tried upgrading the 1000HE AMI BIOS from version 0607 to 1002, but that didn't help. - $ uname -a Linux eeepc 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:54:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux - $ sudo lspci -vvvn 03:00.0 0200: 1969:1026 (rev b0) Subsystem: 1043:8324 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 27 Region 0: Memory at fbfc0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Region 2: I/O ports at ec00 [size=128] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [48] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable+ Address: 00000000fee0300c Data: 417a Capabilities: [58] Express (v1) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 4096 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s <4us, L1 unlimited ExtTag- AttnBtn+ AttnInd+ PwrInd+ RBE- FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop- MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s, Latency L0 unlimited, L1 unlimited ClockPM- Suprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- Retrain- CommClk+ ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- Capabilities: [6c] Vital Product Data <?> Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?> Capabilities: [180] Device Serial Number <EDITED OUT> Kernel driver in use: ATL1E Kernel modules: atl1e - $ sudo ethtool -i eth0 driver: ATL1E version: 1.0.0.7-NAPI firmware-version: L1e bus-info: 0000:03:00.0 - $ sudo ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pg Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00000000 (0) Link detected: yes - $ sudo ethtool -k eth0 Cannot get device rx csum settings: Operation not supported Cannot get device flags: Operation not supported Offload parameters for eth0: rx-checksumming: off tx-checksumming: on scatter-gather: on tcp-segmentation-offload: on udp-fragmentation-offload: off generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: off large-receive-offload: off I have tried the workarounds mentioned in this thread and elsewhere, but none of them works. - $ sudo ethtool -K eth0 rx off Cannot set device rx csum settings: Operation not supported - $ sudo ethtool -K eth0 tx off Cannot set device tx csum settings: Operation not supported - $ sudo ethtool -K eth0 tso off Cannot set device tcp segmentation offload settings: Operation not supported After running above 3 commands "sudo ethtool -k eth0" still prints exactly the same values as listed above. How can I disable these offload settings for good? To reproduce the bug repeat the following steps 1-3. 1. Suspend the computer (Fn+F1 on Asus Eee PC 1000HE) 2. Wake up from Suspend (Press any key) 3. $ scp u...@remoteserver:~/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso . ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso 0% 0 0.0KB/s --:-- ETA Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input. lost connection It seems that after this initial "Corrupted MAC on input" error the bug takes a longer time to emerge again, but it always shows up right after waking up from suspend and downloading something with scp. The bug is _not_ openssh or scp related. Silent file corruption happens when downloading files using HTTP or FTP protocols. Let me know if you need any more information and I will provide it. This is a major problem and concerns many people. -- Large file transfer gives error: Corrupted MAC on input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
