Hi Greg, I spent one hour desperately trying to get my netbook to build latest -32 with distcc until I found that it was sending crap over the network ; some IP headers were present in the TCP payload. And distcc makes use of TCP_CORK and sendfile()... I tried to disable TSO / checksums on the NIC but that's not possible, the NIC is an ATL1C on an Asus 1005HA.
Google helped me spot a somewhat similar Debian bug where Ben Hutchings pointed this patch as a likely fix : From 678b77e265f6d66f1e68f3d095841c44ba5ab112 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jie Yang <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:31:19 -0700 Subject: atl1c: duplicate atl1c_get_tpd I have tested here and it reliably fixes the issue for me when applied on top of 2.6.32.39. Would you please consider this patch for the next round of patches ? That would be great. Thanks in advance, Willy _______________________________________________ stable mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/stable
