[PATCH 0/4] pch_gbe: avoiding transmit timeouts, etc.

From: Andy Cress <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-09 13:30:05

When the interface is stressed with 6 VLANs, some transmit timeout stats
were observed, which is a potential precursor to the more severe netdev
watchdog timeout oops.  Also we saw more than the expected number of
transmit restarts, which impacted performance.   The following patches
were applied and resolved the symptom of the transmit timeout stats, and
reduced the number of transmit restarts.  

This patch set includes the following patches:
0001-pch_gbe-Fix-the-checksum-fill-to-the-error-location.patch  
0002-pch_gbe-fix-transmit-watchdog-timeout.patch  
0003-pch_gbe-add-extra-clean-tx.patch  (which also includes bumping the
version to 1.01)
0004-pch_gbe-vlan-skb-len-fix.patch

The resulting pch_gbe 1.01 driver has been tested on Kontron Tunnel
Creek EG20T modules and Intel Crown Bay EG20T modules, so I believe that
these are appropriate for consideration in the upstream pch_gbe driver.


Please review and comment.

Thanks,
Andy
