Under heavy load, we observed rx stalls (first two patches applied), and this third patch was crafted to address the issue. Please apply to 2.6.32, 2.6.33, and 2.6.34 stable trees. Hi Bruce, thanks for these. netdev is the right place for these patches. I'll send the first two to stable@kernel.org myself; please add the following two lines to the last one and repost to netdev@vger.kernel.org. Acked-by: Rusty Russell Cc: stable@kernel.org Thanks! Rusty.
