Re: 1e918876 breaks r8169 (linux-3.18+)

Could Tomas try following fix ?

In addition -- Tomas, on your affected board -- did you try
turning off gso/tso?

Holger Hoffstätte mentioned on lkml that his affected r8169 nic is
stable with xmit_more+bql after disabling gso/tso on the nic

(ethtool -k $dev to display settings, "-K $dev tso off gso off" to
 disable offloads).

They're always off on this NIC (cannot be turned on).

# ethtool -k eth1| grep segmentation-offload
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off [requested on]
# ethtool -K eth1 gso on tso on
Could not change any device features
# ethtool -k eth1| grep segmentation-offload
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off [requested on]
