OK, so here's a additional patch that fixes that:

Probably, by my mistake in previous mail. Sorry. This still has the
races condition. It can trigger the same problem by shared interrupt
on SMP.

Probably the following ISR style should use the below combination.

in ISR
if (netif_rx_schedule_prep(dev)) {
RTL_W16 (IntrMask, rtl8139_norx_intr_mask);
__netif_rx_schedule(dev);
}

in ->poll
local_irq_disable();
RTL_W16_F(IntrMask, rtl8139_intr_mask);
__netif_rx_complete(dev);
local_irq_enable();

And another one should use the below combination. (this style can
change the flags of __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED or __LINK_STATE_START anytime)

in ISR
if (status & RxAckBits) {
RTL_W16_F (IntrMask, rtl8139_norx_intr_mask);
netif_rx_schedule (dev);
}

in ->poll
local_irq_disable();
__netif_rx_complete(dev);
RTL_W16_F(IntrMask, rtl8139_intr_mask);
local_irq_enable();

If happen the shared interrupt, the this ISR style may lose a
chance of netif_rx_schedule().

Anyway, the following patch should fix the problem. Please apply.

Thanks.

[netdrvr r8169] Conversion of Tx data buffers to PCI DMA:
- endianness is kept in a fscked state as it is in the original code
(will be adressed in a later patch);
- buf_addr of an unmapped descriptor is always set to the same value
(cf rtl8169_unmap_tx_skb);
- nothing fancy, really.

<romieu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (03/11/20 1.1478)
[netdrvr r8169] rtl8169_start_xmit fixes:
- it forgot to update stats if the skb couldn't be expanded;
- it didn't free it either if the descriptor was not available;
- move the spin_unlock nearer of the exit point instead of duplicating
it in the new branch.

<romieu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (03/11/20 1.1477)
[netdrvr r8169] Conversion of Rx data buffers to PCI DMA
- endianness is kept in a fscked state as it is in the original code
(will be adressed in a later patch);
- rtl8169_rx_clear() walks the buffer ring and releases the allocated
data buffers. It needs to be used in two places:
- rtl8169_init_ring() failure path;
- normal device release (i.e. rtl8169_close);
- rtl8169_free_rx_skb() releases a Rx data buffer. Mostly an helper
for rtl8169_rx_clear(). As such it must:
- unmap the memory area;
- release the skb;
- prevent the ring descriptor from being used again;
- rtl8169_alloc_rx_skb() prepares a Rx data buffer for use.
As such it must:
- allocate an skb;
- map the memory area;
- reflect the changes in the ring descriptor.
This function is balanced by rtl8169_free_rx_skb().
- rtl8169_unmap_rx() simply helps with the 80-columns limit.
- rtl8169_rx_fill() walks a given range of the buffer ring and
try to turn any descriptor into a ready to use one. It returns the
count of modified descriptors and exits if an allocation fails.
It can be seen as balanced by rtl8169_rx_clear(). Motivation:
- partially abstract the (usually big) piece of code for the refill
logic at the end of the Rx interrupt;
- factorize the refill logic and the initial ring setup.
- simple conversion of rtl8169_rx_interrupt() without rx_copybreak
(will be adressed in a later patch).

<romieu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (03/11/20 1.1476)
[netdrvr r8169] Conversion of Rx/Tx descriptors to consistent DMA:
- use pci_alloc_consistent() for Rx/Tx descriptors in rtl8169_open()
(balanced by pci_free_consistent() on error path as well as in
rtl8169_close());
- removal of the fields {Rx/Tx}DescArrays in struct rtl8169_private
as there is no need to store a non-256 bytes aligned address any more;
- fix for rtl8169_open() leak when RxBufferRings allocation fails.
Said allocation is pushed to rtl8169_init_ring() as part of an evil
cunning plan.

[PATCH] 8139too NAPI for net-drivers-2.5-exp

Here is the 8139too version in net-drivers-2.5-exp modified for NAPI.
Also:
64k receive ring - has to handle wrap for that case;
the NoWrap flag does nothing if using this big ring.
assert() -> BUG_ON()

To deal with the races with tx_timeout, put back in the rx_lock from earlier versions.

I forget to test the Sun-3 drivers:
- sun3_82586.c:
o add missing casts to iounmap() calls
o fix parameter of free_netdev()
- sun3lance.c: add missing casts to iounmap() calls

Note that sun3_82586.c no longer compiles since SUN3_82586_TOTAL_SIZE is not
defined. Sammy, is it OK to use PAGE_SIZE for that, since that's what's passed
to ioremap()?

Here are some (untested, except for cross-gcc) fixes for the m68k-related
drivers:
- Space.c: fix incorrect prototypes for atarilance_probe() and mace_probe()
- a2065.c: kill superfluous argument of alloc_etherdev()
- apne.c:
o fix incorrect prototype for apne_probe()
o kill unused variable err
- mac8390.c:
o kill unused variable probed
o fix typos ENDOEV -> ENODEV and ERR_PTE -> ERR_PTR
o add missing variable slots
- macmace.c: use ERR_PTR() where needed
- macsonic.c: kill unused variable lp
- mvme147.c:
o kill conversion warning and kill a cast by making ram unsigned long
o add missing variable err

Note: The use of `slots' in mac8390.c is not in my tree. Do you know where that
change comes from?

* s/unsigned int/unsigned long/ for I/O port addresses
* no need to prevent tc35815_probe from being called multiple times...
PCI layer will do things properly for us.
* call pci_enable_device before accessing hardware, before obtaining
irq number, and before obtaining I/O port addresses.
* remove bogus 'if (pdev)' check in PCI API ->probe function
* call SET_M0DULE_OWNER, remove MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT
* (cleanup) don't bother casting from a void*
* (cleanup) mark debugging function with #if 0, just like the caller
* Fix many printk statements to indicate that tc_readl() returns
a long, not an int.
* (cleanup) remove unused tc35815_proc_info function

[e1000] improve Tx flush method

* Flush queued in-flight Tx descriptors when link is lost. 8254x stops
processing Tx descriptors when link is lost, so outstanding Tx

to process context to work around some issue with holding xmit_lock
in timer callback.

assert and de-assert messages if hub link bus is busy (heavy
traffic). Disabling interrupt on device works around re-

[PATCH] (09/12) Probe2 -- arlan

Convert arlan driver to new probing. This meant a rather large
rework of the probing code for this driver since it did a lot ofnon
standard things.

* 3c507: fixed clobbering on autoprobe
* NB: 3c507.c buggers port 0x100 without claiming it. Most likely it
should be doing request_region() there.

[netdrvr 3c527] remove cli/sti

Richard Procter and I worked to remove cli/sti to add proper SMP support (I did the original stuff and Richard did the actual current code :)).

Besides that, Richard did a great jog improving the perfomance of the driver quite a bit:

- Improve mc32_command by 770% (438% non-inlined) over the semaphore version (at a cost of 1 sem + 2 completions per driver).

- Removed mutex covering mc32_send_packet (hard_start_xmit). This lets the interrupt handler operate concurrently and removes unnecessary locking. It makes the code only slightly more brittle

Original post:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=106438449315202&w=2

Since it didn't apply cleanly against 2.6.0-test6, I forward ported it. Patch attached.

Jeff, please consider applying,

Thanks.

[PATCH] remove dev_get from wanrouter

The call to dev_get() in wanrouter_device_new_if is racy and redundant and should
be removed. The later 'register_netdev()' does the same test internally and will
return the appropriate error if the name already exists.

This patch is against 2.6.0-test6.
Resend of earlier patch because it was ignored, or missed.

[PATCH] 2.6.0-test6 - more free_netdev() conversion

Compiles ok (with true .o generated, yeah). Please review.

free_netdev() of devices allocated through use of alloc_netdev().
Though baroque, drivers/net/3c515.c now uses alloc_etherdev().
