Even stranger I can't even find it in patchwork either.

Please resubmit, thanks Jeff.

Hmm, but I checked the bonding case (IFF_BONDING), it doesn't
hold rtnl_lock. Strange.

Please:

1) respin your patches against net-next-2.6

2) Add numbers to your patch posting subject lines so there
   is no confusion about what order your patches should be
   applied.

3) Make sure the driver compiles successfully at each step
   of applying your patches, not just after all the changes
   are applied.

Or use the similar trick:

 int tries = 10;
...

 if(!ret && inet_is_reserved_local_port(port)) {
   if (tries--)
     ret = -EAGAIN;
   else
     ret = -EBUSY;

	The "hidden" flag is obsolete, kernel already has arp_ignore

for more information. May be what you need is arp_announce=1/2
and (arp_ignore=1/2 or arp_filter=1 or rp_filter=1).

This isn't sufficient to handle the NULL pointer.

At a minimum you're going to have to do something about
the fact that the chip has already been told to start
bringing the packet into the RX fifo.

If we just return without finishing up the hardware
operation, the chip is probably going to hang the next
time we come in here and tell it to start another RX
DMA operation without having completed the previous one.

The bug definitely needs to be fixed, however, but someone who knows
this hardware and has access to it for testing will need to implement
the fix.

Unless you add a rule to drivers/net/Makefile, the build won't
actually get to your driver unless one of the other USB networking

Very interesting idea, but implementation is too complex, and probably

Use of 'volatile' is strongly discouraged, I would say, forbidden. 

Its usually a sign of 'I dont exactly what memory ordering I need, so I
throw a volatile just in case'. We live in a world full of RCU, read ,
write, full barriers. And these apis are well documented.

I advise to keep it simple.

My suggestion would be to limit this patch only to process_backlog().

Really if you touch other areas, there is too much risk.

Perform sort of skb_queue_splice_tail_init() into a local (stack) queue,
but the trick is to not touch input_pkt_queue.qlen, so that we dont slow
down enqueue_to_backlog().

Process at most 'quota' skbs (or jiffies limit).

relock queue.
input_pkt_queue.qlen -= number_of_handled_skbs;

In the unlikely event we have unprocessed skbs in local queue,
re-insert the remaining skbs at head of input_pt_queue.

Consider if input_pkt_queue.qlen is 0 or not, to call
__napi_complete(napi); or not :)

True, that would probably help. Irqbalance might just believe that the
load is so low that it isn't worth rebalancing. The CPU's are spending
more than 90% of their time idling.

I'll keep monitoring the server, and if it starts dropping packets again
or load increases I'll check whether irqbalanced does the right thing,
and if not I'll implement your suggestion.

Thank you very much!

Or use strict_strtoul()?

It seems that all proc code assumes that the input buffer will
not exceed one page size.

Ok.

Hmm, right, it should be memchr(v, c, len).

Thanks!

Ok that makes sense.

What do you think applying a small fix before RFS integration, it is
better to have smaller patches anyway :)

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: netif_rx() must disable preemption

Eric Paris reported netif_rx() is calling smp_processor_id() from
preemptible context, in particular when caller is
ip_dev_loopback_xmit().

RPS commit added this smp_processor_id() call, this patch makes sure
preemption is disabled. rps_get_cpus() wants rcu_read_lock() anyway, we
can dot it a bit earlier.

Thanks for testing!

How about:

+		if (!ret && inet_is_reserved_local_port(port))
+			ret = -EBUSY;

? So that it will break the loop and return error.
