Bug#642911: TX watchdog timeout on RTL8168B
Hi,
Gerd, Lucas, can you test the attached patch? It works like this:
# prerequisites
apt-get install git build-essential
kernelrepos=git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
# get the Linux kernel if you don't already have it
git clone $kernelrepos/torvalds/linux.git
# enter Linux kernel repository
cd linux
# fetch point releases
git remote add -f stable $kernelrepos/stable/linux-stable.git
# try 3.0.y
git reset --hard
git checkout stable/linux-3.0.y
make localmodconfig
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
... test test test ...; # hopefully it gives hangs or transmit timeouts
# test with patch
git am -3sc thepatch
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
... test test test ...
Results from testing the squeeze kernel following instructions from [1]
would also be interesting.
Thanks to Sioçnarf for hints.
Hopeful,
Jonathan

Subject: r8169: Rx FIFO overflow fixes.
commit 811fd3010cf512f2e23e6c4c912aad54516dc706 upstream.
Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post
8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow.
The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and
it should rather avoid messing it.
The implementation deserves some explanation:
1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces
a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there
or should be ignored.
2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the
whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions:
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12bdac21bc0620a5089e0f24e362645efd
("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset.").
This one should now be correctly handled.
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO
overflow processing.
Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated
driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17.
Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather
wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really
helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways.
Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant.
3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e
(RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself.
[jrnieder@gmail.com: As f60ac8e7ab7c ("r8169: prevent RxFIFO induced
loops in the irq handler") explains, while the RxFIFOOver
interruption is masked for most 8168, nothing prevents it from
appearing in the irq status word. This patch enforces a
no-processing policy for such events by forgetting them before we
have a chance to consider acting and by not acking them (which tends
to have unpleasant results like making the chip lock up).
To keep the patch minimal, but at a cost of leaving behind some
confusing dead code, this backport leaves out the "remove redundant
case statements" part.]
