As of now, beside changing the call-site of em_setup_receive_ring() to ensure it is never re-entered, I'd guess that the patch I sent earlier today, is the only way to ensure that no junk is returned. I'd guess that the driver _is_ able to transmit, if the code was not explicitly calling em_stop() upon em_setup_receive_structures() failure. - Arnaud [0]: I wish that would have been as easy as in Linux, where a WARN() call do all the job automatically, but still, I should not hope for that much unless I am the one implementing it ... yes, free whining, it's 2a.m. ... > =A0- Arnaud > >> The data your netstat -m shows suggests to me that what's happening >> is somehow setup of the receive ring is running more than once maybe?? >> >> You asked at one point how this could go into STABLE, well, because >> not only here at Intel, but at lots of external customers this code has = been >> used and tested thoroughly. >> >> I am not calling into question your problem, but until I understand what= it >> is I cannot "fix" it :) >> >> The thing I am guessing right now is the culprit is the setup code, the >> reason >> is that when I ported to the igb driver I found that it did not work on = our >> newer >> hardware, and so I went back to the older version of setup for igb.
