Subject: Re: r8169 driver from kernel 5.0 crashing - napi_consume_skb

Just a quick check-in...  I was able to do a decent amount of testing
yesterday after applying Heiner's patches that "removes an extra PCI
register read in the
interrupt handler" and adds some debug logging. So far I haven't seen
any crashes, everything has been smooth. It may be worth noting that
the last few crashes I saw occurred with less testing than I did
yesterday. I'm not sure if luck is involved and will continue to test
over the next few days unless otherwise instructed. Just wanted to
keep you guys informed what I've seen so far.

Best regards,
Derek
