Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:23:15 -0300 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>, Yevgeny Petrilin <yevgenyp@...lanox.co.il> Subject: [PATCH] mlx4_en: fix transmit of packages when blue frame is enabled With the addition of Blue Frame support in the network driver for mlx4, the doorbell is not written in the path where blue frame is enabled and the package follows some characteristics. The consequence of that is that ICMP ECHO requests, for example, were not transmitted by the device. A ping flood, for example, would make the watchdog dispatch, because the ring was full and transmissions have timed out. After this fix, I could ping two systems using mlx4_en (both with the fix).
