From 1519e57fe81c14bb8fa4855579f19264d1ef63b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francois Romieu Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 12:02:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: RxFIFO overflow oddities with 8168 chipsets. Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not always mandatory (is it at all ?). - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25 Missed ~55% packets. Note: - this is an old SiS 965L motherboard - the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26 The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work. Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu Cc: Ivan Vecera Cc: Hayes --- Reading git-format-patch failed
