Hi,

After the update of em to 6.6.6 last, I experience watchdog timeouts on a
server running 6-STABLE.

I have two identical servers with Intel D915GAV boards. Both have Intel
PRO/1000 PCI-Express network cards.

Server balder:

When running netstat between servers balder and midgard, server balder
get watchdog timeouts and resets the connection for a few seconds.
Oct 19 13:12:47 balder kernel: em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Oct 19 13:12:47 balder kernel: em0: link state changed to DOWN
Oct 19 13:12:51 balder kernel: em0: link state changed to UP

I have switched the cable between the two servers but get exactly the
same problem. The switch is a Netgear GS108T with the latest firmware.

The resp. dmesg.boot are attached.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can supply to
clear this.

Best regards,
        Göran L


I have managed to get my performance back in two ways:
- Switching to polling.
- Build a kernel without USB.

So it's the interrupt sharing between the network card and a USB hub that's the problem.
