Kernel is 2.6.16.16 with my patches, including a patch to the e1000. I also rebuilt a fresh kernel with only the attached send-to-self patch. I see the hang, but there was no OOM messages, probably because the machine was freshly rebooted and had plenty of buffers available. I will try to reproduce this with some other NICs next...
The same problem happens with a single TCP connection between two copper 10/100/1000 intel ports on the FC2 dual-xeon 32-bit machine. I tried a dual-core AMD system running 64-bit kernel and FC5. This kernel is running my complete set of patches (against 2.6.16.16). I can reproduce with Intel pro/1000 on this dual-core system when I up the rate to 400Mbps and do 50,000 byte writes (can only get 125Mbps with 5000 byte writes on this system, and it ran at that speed for several minutes w/out problem.) I can also reproduce when using the tg3 adapters, but the tg3 can only run at about 220Mbps, even with the larger write size. This slower speed could be because of bus issues or the VLAN I used for one end of the connection. I could not see this problem with tg3 untill I yanked the cable a few times and then ran the connection through my network emulator (which will cause a bit of latency and some dropped packets). The tethereal output looks slightly different, but I think this is just because it is a different version from the older FC2 system from my previous email. 0.399107 192.168.1.3 -> 192.168.1.2 TCP 33020 > 33019 [ACK] Seq=4294967248 Ack=48 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842823 0.400565 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.3 TCP 33019 > 33020 [ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842824 0.400764 192.168.1.3 -> 192.168.1.2 TCP 33020 > 33019 [ACK] Seq=4294967248 Ack=48 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842823 0.400948 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.3 TCP 33019 > 33020 [ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842824 0.408851 192.168.1.3 -> 192.168.1.2 TCP 33020 > 33019 [ACK] Seq=4294967248 Ack=48 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842823 0.410005 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.3 TCP 33019 > 33020 [ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842824 0.411524 192.168.1.3 -> 192.168.1.2 TCP 33020 > 33019 [ACK] Seq=4294967248 Ack=48 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842823 0.450702 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.3 TCP 33019 > 33020 [ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=11998 Len=0 TSV=943608 TSER=842824 Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
