I recently upgraded from 3.3.x to 3.4.4, and am now experiencing
networking problems with my desktop box's r8169 card. The symptoms are
that all traffic ceases for five to ten seconds, then the card appears
to reset and everything is back to normal -- until it happens again. It
can happen quite a lot:

Can you try and revert 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060 ?

I would welcome a complete dmesg including the XID line from the
r8169 driver.

r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xffffc90000c72000, 00:24:1d:72:7c:75, XID 081000c0 IRQ 44
r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth1: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xffffc90000c70000, 00:24:1d:72:7c:77, XID 081000c0 IRQ 45

Kernel 3.4.4 with 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060 (r8169: add 
byte queue limit support) reverted is now running just about 60 hours 
on the afformentioned hardware. No traces of "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 
(r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out" so far, while it usually triggers 
within an hour (5 hours at most) with plain 3.4.4 on that system.
