See below. Changes of behavior should be reported for this patch over plain 3.4-rc2 or current 3.3-stable as both include Andreas's fix. Otherwise it can not be labelled it as a fix : it does not go into 3.4-rc nor 3.3-stable but proceeds through net-next where it will land into 3.5-rc then -stable. One can not exercize the Tx xmit vs napi Tx completion race part of the patch with a single core. Afaiui non-Soekris users are needed here. Even if you don't experience change of behavior over 3.4-rc or 3.3-stable, some longterm use of this driver would be welcome. It may end as an effort for 3.5-rc though. -- Ueimor Will code drivers for food.
