Hi Eric,
when working on the r8169 driver I came across an old patch from you:
6f0333b8fde4 ("r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ring")
As part of this patch the alignment requirement for rx buffers was
silently changed from 8 to 16 bytes. Can you remember (well, after
eight years) why you did this? In the chip datasheet I find only
8 bytes mentioned as requirement.
Regards,
Heiner
