It seems like the SAMA5D36 GMAC driver in sam_gmac.c is running out of TX
buffers. I can set a large number of buffers, but it always seems to run
out. I get these entries in the log:

[  402.310000] sam_transmit: Disabling RX interrupts

That seems to come from line 769 which notes that it's doing this because
it can't transmit due to lack of TX buffers. Immediately afterwards, the
transmission stalls, and then a minute later there is a txtimeout fired,
the driver restarts, packets can be sent again until it runs out of TX
buffers again.

So it seems like there might be something wrong here. Could it be my
configuration? Or could it be that the GMAC driver is leaking TX buffers?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to find the leak?

cheers
