| |
When using packet split, netpoll times out when doing a netdump.
Server logs: --netdump[14973]: Got too many timeouts in handshaking, ignoring client 172.0.2.250 --netdump[14973]: Got too many timeouts waiting for SHOW_STATUS for client 172.0.2.250, rebooting it.
When packet split is not used, netpoll dumps correctly. This was reproduced using the initial setup:
HP DL380G3 (Server) RHEL4 U1 7170 NIC e1000 driver
HP DL380G4 (Client) RHEL3 U5 7170 NIC e1000 driver
We also tested using the latest RHEL4 U2 on the client, with the same results.
Netpoll does not appear to be able to handle skb's using packet split, a possible resolution would be to test for packet split and to use skb_linearize() in netpoll to resolve the issue.
