I have had at least one report that this patch corrects repeated
wedging of the if_nve interface on 6.x systems. Do you have plans to
merge this patch to RELENG_6 and/or RELENG_6_0? The PR seems to
suggest a larger set of changes that I've not dug into, and as a result
fail to understand, however.
I'd be interested in looking at the PR FWIW as I've been doing some
hacking on nve(4) recently.
After some discussion, it sounds like the problem here is that this patch
fixes a bug in a workaround for other serious problems -- i.e., that when
you reset the interface to deal with the fact that the interface has
wedged, it isn't being properly reset. So this patch is useful, in that
it helps work around one or more other serious bugs better, but still
leaves serious underlying problems. That said, I think it would be good
to MFC the fix.
