Subject: 2.6.20-rc1 sky2 problems (regression?)
under heavy network load the sky2 driver (compiled in the kernel)
locks up and the only way i can get the network back is to reboot the
machine (bringing the network down and back up again doesn't help).
this happens on an amd64 machine (athlon 3500+ processor) and the card
in question is a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (rev 15) (from lspci). this is what i see in the
syslog:
kernel: sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x414a414a length 0
kernel: eth0: hw csum failure.

and so on. some times i don't get this trace but instead i get:
kernel: sky2 eth0: tx timeout
kernel: sky2 eth0: transmit ring 140 .. 99 report=181 done=181
kernel: sky2 status report lost?
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
kernel: sky2 eth0: tx timeout
kernel: sky2 eth0: transmit ring 181 .. 140 report=181 done=181
kernel: sky2 hardware hung? flushing
but the end result is the same, the network card stops responding and
i have to reboot the machine. i can reproduce this on a consistent
basis so if there are any patches, i can try them out and see if they
fix the problem.
this is probably not a regression per se as i saw it as well with
2.6.19 and 2.6.19-rc6. i am not sure if it was there previous to
2.6.19-rc6. suggestions, patches welcome. thanks.
