This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled b43: Increase number of RX DMA slots to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From dc066077e97461882ebffb72a36f30b87f7f4242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:01:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] b43: Increase number of RX DMA slots commit ccae0e50c16a7f7adb029c169147400d1ce9f703 upstream. Bastian Bittorf reported that some of the silent freezes on a Linksys WRT54G were due to overflow of the RX DMA ring buffer, which was created with 64 slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook, which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however, I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number of slots is being increased to 256. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Bastian Bittorf <bittorf@bluebottle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
