That code is obviously not in CURRENT yet, if you can provide me a patch against CURRENT of today I can give it a try. In the meantime this should really get into the 7.2 release errata - similar to those regarding TSO on fxp (in the end these devices are pretty common and tracking this down was an annoying experience I would like to spare others). If that's beyond your scope maybe you can tell me how to trigger this. cheers Michael Jack Vogel wrote: > Thanks for noting this, code that is coming has the driver disable LRO > when the stack calls for it, I believe it will solve this problem. > > Regards, > > Jack > > > On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Michael wrote: > >> Michael wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> we encountered problems using igb driver on a Supermicro dual quad-core >>> system (X7DWU). >>> It features an Intel Gigabit dual port controller (82575). >>> >>> The IP forwarding performance was extremely bad (5 kb/s up to 50 kb/s) >>> until we disabled >>> Large Receive Offloading in /etc/sysctl.conf: >>> dev.igb.0.enable_lro=0 >>> dev.igb.1.enable_lro=0 >>> >>> (changing it using ifconfig -lro and down/up the interfaces didn't help). >>> >>> With the systctl values set as shown above, we get the expected >>> performance ob 50-60 MB/s. >>> We tested this on 7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-RELEASE and 7-STABLE.
