+Subject: [PATCH] r8169: remove the obsolete and incorrect AMD workaround
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This was introduced in commit 6dccd16 "r8169: merge with version
+6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version
+6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek
+this hunk is no longer present.
+
+Also commit 05af214 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC
+rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise.
+
+The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks
+parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this
+does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly
+valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with
+any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would
+suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only.
+
+Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be
+handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c:
+net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and
+mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang.
+
+As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive
+traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result
+in device hang.
