Re: Mass udp flow reboot linux with RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit

Seblu [off-list ref] :

I've applyed your patch on 2.6.38-rc5. Host have rebooted 2mn after udp start.
After this reboot, host is still on after 2 hour under a 1Gbit/s udp flow.

Thanks for testing.

I attached a dmesg output before reboot. Do you need anything else?

Mostly :
1. .config
2. the size of the udp packets and the mtu

As an option :
3. a few seconds of 'vmstat 1' from the host under test
4. an 'ethtool -s eth0' from the host under test
5. /proc/interrupts from the host under test
6. lspci -tv 

Can you apply the two attached patches on top of the previous ones and
give it a try ? The debug should not be too verbose if things are stationary
enough.

Do you have a serial cable and a second computer at hand by chance (don't
go for netconsole with the r8169 driver) ?
