Re: Silent corruption with r8169
I'll try to get to testing this, but I'm wondering if people may have misunderstood my original post. I don't get any corruption over Ethernet; it's just corruption on the filesystem during certain load patterns that involve the Realtek ethernet card. When disabling hardware checksums helps then you know the corruption is on the Ethernetside. Otherwise it's somewhere else. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Aaron, I see no clear suspect between 2.6.20.1 and current -git that could explain nor fix a corruption in the r8169 driver. Can you apply on top of latest 2.6.21-rc5-git the patches available at http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.21-rc5/r8169-20070402 000[12]-r8169-foo-bar.patch have been committed a few minutes ago: you should check if they apply or not. netconsole appears compiled as a module.

It is too soon to label it a debug feature or a genuine bug in the r8169 driver but at least there is a r8169 patchkit to help with various annoyances (obscure bug on amd platform for instance). It could make a difference. The disk io + r8169 driver bugs can be very frustrating to debug :o/ -- Ueimor Anybody got a battery for my Ultra 10 ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
