Will leave up and hit with traffic unless a crash occurs. If I hit something unrelated I'll backport to 2.6.32.7 and try that for a while. I do think it's plausible that the dma errors after (during) load were due to hardware limitations on the number of mapped entries (haven't researched what that limit was).

I'd suggest that regardless of whether this patch solves my crash that it ought to be backported as it seems unlikely that any machine would be able to survive for long without the tx entries being unmapped. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

In this case, the ICMP reply is going back with the 8000 byte jumbo frame unfragmented. It seems that the reverse is also true. I don't know why sometimes win7 does this, and at other times properly fragments. Oddly, prior to this attempt if I set no fragment on a ping from the windows box back to the linux box and a size of > mtu (like 8000), the ping failed. Absent the no-fragment flag, the ping properly fragmented. I am not sure why Windows now thinks the MTU is > 1500. I'll look into that when I have some time. It's possible that with 2.6.33-rc5 & the patches I've got that somehow path mtu discovery is broken as nothing changed on the windows side. Understanding that the other side is out of spec, I'd still wonder why the sky2 driver generates rx errors. Perhaps overruns should be tossed silently... by the hardware if possible. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'd rather prefer doing them more explicit (like e.g. some other kind of length errors).
