Re: [tor-relays] inet_csk_bind_conflict

Hi Christopher

How many open connections do you have? (`ss -s`)
Do you happen to use OutboundBindAddress in your torrc?

What I think we need is for the Tor developers to include this PR in a release: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/merge_requests/579
Once that has happened, I think the problem should go away, as long as you run a recent enough Linux kernel that supports IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT (since Linux 4.2).

Hello tor-relays,

We are using Ubuntu server currently for our exit relays. Occasionally, exit throughput will drop from ~4Gbps down to ~200Mbps and the only observable data point that we have is a significant increase in inet_csk_bind_conflict, as seen via 'perf top', where it will hit 85% [kernel] utilization.

A while back we thought we solved with with two /etc/sysctl.conf settings:
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1

However we are still experiencing this problem.

Both of our (currently, two) relay servers suffer from the same problem, at the same time. They are AMD Epyc 7402P bare-metal servers each with 96GB RAM, each has 20 exit relays on them. This issue persists after upgrading to 0.4.7.11.

Screenshots of perf top are shared here: https://digitalcourage.social/@EmeraldOnion/109440197076214023

Does anyone have experience troubleshooting and/or fixing this problem?

Cheers,
