From: "Michael Chan" <mchan@...adcom.com> Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2007 13:17:14 -0800 > [BNX2]: Fix RX packet rot. > > Packets can be left in the RX ring if the NAPI budget is reached. > This is caused by storing the latest rx index at the beginning of > bnx2_rx_int(). We may not process all the work up to this index > if the budget is reached and so some packets in the RX ring may rot > when we later check for more work using this stored rx index. > > The fix is to not store this latest hw index and only store the > processed rx index. We use a new function bnx2_get_hw_rx_cons() > to fetch the latest hw rx index. > > Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com> Applied. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
