Dave, Francois posted the following fix to lkml (he forgot
to CC: netdev and the people reporting this bug, oh well)

Did you see it?  It should fix the bug.

8139cp: balance dma_map_single vs dma_unmap_single pair

The driver always:
1. allocate cp->rx_buf_sz + NET_IP_ALIGN
2. map cp->rx_buf_sz

Ah, I missed it (disk crashed on friday, so I've been backlogged
since then). Thanks for the forward.

Below this, we're still doing an skb_reserve(NET_IP_ALIGN) on new_skb.
Although the mapping is now constantly sized, aren't we still wastefully
bumping the data/tail of the skb twice ?

$ grep -n NET_IP_ALIGN drivers/net/8139cp.c
552:		new_skb = netdev_alloc_skb(dev, buflen + NET_IP_ALIGN);
558:		skb_reserve(new_skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);
1059:		skb = netdev_alloc_skb(dev, cp->rx_buf_sz + NET_IP_ALIGN);
1063:		skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);

I do not get it : netdev_alloc_skb allocates but it does not "bump" as
skb_reserve does (and skb_reserve does not allocate). Where would the
double bump come from ?

The mapping is constantly sized but we want the ethernet header following
IP data to be evenly aligned and thus the mapping to be oddly aligned.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation :)
