Subject: NETDEV WATCHDOG on U60/SMP

	Hello,

	This mail comes from sparclinux mailing list. I repost it on general 
linux kernel mailing list because I'm not sure that this bug is sparc 
specific. Nevertheless, I can only reproduce it on sparc64/SMP.

	My U60 runs linux debian with official 2.6.25 linux kernel (I'm
currently trying 2.6.25.7) and sometimes, when eth2 is stressed, eth2
hangs with NETDEV WATCHDOG :

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth2: transmit timed out
eth2: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status 8601.
   diagnostics: net 0ccc media 8880 dma 0000003a fifo 0000

eth2: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
eth2:  setting full-duplex.
...

	I have to reboot this server to restore eth2.
This adapter is a 3Com NIC (3C905). I have tried with several different
3Com adapters with the same result. If I change this NIC (for example 
with a HME or any PCI 2.1 adapter), I cannot reproduce the bug.

	It only occurs when ethernet traffic is high on eth2.

	I have seen this bug since 2.6.20 even on amd64 (but I'm not sure that 
this bug remains in amd64 kernel because I don't have any amd64 
workstation to test, and I don't see it on amd64 since 2.6.24. Maybe it 
is fixed on amd64...).
