OK, 2nd try then :)

This one behaves much better.  There's no instant crash anymore, and the
'dropped' and 'frame' stats in ifconfig gets incremented with each ping.

It fails down the line however.  I wasn't able to reply to this email after
doing the ping test with the above change (no more large packets were sent).
With OOPSes like this one:

(it probably has nothing to do with radeon drm sysfs file
(it is NOT the binary fglrx module by the way)).

Looks like some memory corruption.  And most probably it is in
that error path in r8169 driver - it is the only new codepath
which were executed here.  The problem is quite repeatable -
after sending a single large ping system starts behaving like
the above at random.

So we're on a right way it seems, but there's more than one
issue here.

By the way, is there anything else we can do here but drop the
packet?  Or is there any REASON to do something else?

Thanks!

Hmm... this code path is not new, I believe your adapter is buggy, because it
is overwriting part of memory it should not touch at all.

When this driver queues a skb in rx queue, it tells NIC the max size of the skb,
and apparently NIC happily delivers packets with larger sizes, so probably DMA
wrote data past end of skb data.

Try to change 

static void rtl_set_rx_max_size(void __iomem *ioaddr)
    RTL_W16(RxMaxSize, 16383); 

to ->

    RTL_W16(RxMaxSize, RX_BUF_SIZE);


(But it will probably break jumbo frames rx as well)

That's a very likely situation.

(RX_BUF_SIZE is defined as 1536).
Aha, so it should set some flags instead (as were tested in your
first try), for packets larger than that.  Makes sense.

But if we told the NIC that we can receive 16K buffers, and it
delivered 3K packet to us, we've got some memory corruption...
I.e., the problem is that we told the driver that we can handle
16k buffers but actually we had only 1500, no?

Lemme check this all...

Setting RxMaxSize to RX_BUF_SIZE indeed solved the problem, --
I don't see random corruptions like the last one above.

But after setting RxMaxSize to 2500, I can trigger your 2nd
check/patch condition (for pkt_size > tp->rx_buf_sz) for
packets <2500 in size, and your *first* check/patch condition
(RxRES | RxRWT | RxRUNT | RxCRC | RxFOVF) for packets >2500
in size.

So to me (who has no knowledge about hardware at all), it looks
like the card behaves quite correctly.

Also note that I've seen this behavior on several different
machines.  Here @home where I'm doing this all testing I've
Asus M3A78-EM motherboard (AMD780), and the second one is
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H (AMD740) - both behaves very similarly.
Both are AMD7xx, but I've seen the same problem on Intel-based
machines too.

I'll try out some more tests later today.  (And there's another
issue with these NICs -- the famous, quite frequent under load
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit timed out" errors, which
are quite annoying... Also shown by both the above-mentioned mobos
