I have been hard at work trying to understand and fix the remaining issues with the em driver. What I have here is a patch that has gotten rid of any issues that I can reproduce. It solves the intermittent watchdogs that have been happening. It also fixes the problem noted with jumbo frame tx I, and re, would very much appreciate any test feedback you can give on this code. I am happy with the changes, I hope these get rid of everyone's issues. Thanks to Gleb and Scott and John for all the help!

I was not able to easily reproduce the timeouts in the first place, but so far on the one box I have been testing, it seems to be fine (netrate with various small packets). I will load up some more boxes tomorrow and see how it goes. I tested on an acpi0: <INTEL DG965SS> on motherboard with the onboard NIC. ---Mike
If you create a patch against -CURRENT I can test on sun4v. The timeouts with em on sun4v are so severe that I have to use the driver from June for any kind of workload. -Kip On 11/3/06, Jack Vogel <jfvogel@gmail.com> wrote:> > I have been hard at work trying to understand and fix the > remaining issues with the em driver.
