No error packets or other weird interface state - just a hung interface. The condition happens after a stream of: eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. eth1: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq. If i increase max_interrupt_work from 5 to 50 to paper over this condition then the hangs go away. So i suspect there might still be a queue-wakeup problem in one of these paths - or that a filled up tx ring somehow gets stuck. (and i've got commits 3ba4d093fe8a26f and fcc5f2665c81e08, so all the latest stuff that is upstream at the moment) Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
