fresh em(4) patch for RELENG_6 available

2006-08-14 Thread Gleb Smirnoff
  Colleagues,

  although one week ago we have made a very big merge of the
em(4) driver from HEAD to RELENG_6, during this week the driver
has experienced few important changes in HEAD:

  1) Pyun YongHyeon has fixed problems in both TX and RX path
 that can happen when system experiences mbuf shortage.
  2) Intel's driver version 6.1.4 has been merged.

The patch for RELENG_6 is available here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~glebius/em-RELENG_6.patch

Currently there is also a known problem - a race condition,
that occurs on SMP triggering a fake watchdog event, that
leads to unwanted NIC reset.

Hi,
Is that problem in the driver in RELENG_6, or what is in the patch ?

It is present both in RELENG_6 and in HEAD.

Does this have any relation to the post bce0: Error mapping mbuf into
TX chain?

I also have the above problem (with bce0) on a Dell PowerEdge 2950,
although it doesn't seem to take much io to crash the interface.

Thanks,

Bucky
