the interface stats do not change from that point on:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:D4:DC:41:12 inet addr:10.0.1.12 Bcast:10.0.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14976 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3928743 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1028544 (1004.4 KiB) TX bytes:4126766510 (3.8 GiB) Interrupt:16 Base address:0xa000
and the irq count does not change either:
16: 816 3463148 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1
no matter what i do to the interface. So it's completely stuck. No kernel messages either - apparently nv_tx_timeout() never triggered.
note, the hang occurs faster if you set max_interrupt_work to a really low value (such as 0). [ The hang occurs _much_ faster if you apply the -rt patch and enable PREEMPT_RT - but the hang occurs on mainline too. ]
