Hello,

We have seen the problem reappear on msk driver (after the applying the 
latest patch in gnats). The patch did improve things tremendously but 
now the watchdog will timeout after 7 or 8 hours of flawless activity 
(before the patch it would happen right away on the first transfer).

Using the legacy interrupt sysctl (on top of the patched kernel atm) is 
giving us better result, haven't seen a failure in days now.

Regards,

Karim.
