It may or may not be the driver issue, but the way it works with NAPI. Or driver just looses interrupt (or if it has weird interrupt coalescing/mitigation feature) under the load. What about adding a counter into interrupt handler and napi polling callback with ability to clear/read it via driver ioctl (or just clear it when first small packet is recived and dump when module is unloaded), so can determine via tcpdump how many packets were actually received and what counter is. It can be trivial issue with work_done < or <= than budget, which was a frequent error in drivers for a while, and with your protocol it can be fatal until next received packet. -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- 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
