I looked at your dmesg and it appears that there is never a NETDEV_WATCHDOG message, which would normally indicate that the driver isn't resetting itself out of the problem. Does ethtool -S eth3 show any tx_timeout_count ? > Configuratoin is a 4 x 1GbitE bond all with Intel NICs > > 06:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet > Controller (Copper) (rev 03) > 06:01.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet > Controller (Copper) (rev 03) > 06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet > Controller (Copper) (rev 03) > 06:02.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet > Controller (Copper) (rev 03) are you doing testing with the remote end of this link? I'm wondering if something changed in the kernel that is causing remote link down events to not stop the tx queue (our hardware just completely stops in its tracks w.r.t tx when link goes down) -- 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
