From f5829ee75361832b9b52e7230f57ecadc1db0125 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Timo=20Ter=C3=A4s?= Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:39:08 +0200 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.
