Herbert,
Even with this patch I still see RCU breakage at these data rates and
the problem persists -- it just takes
longer for it to manifest (about 23 hours). I am recoding
dev_queue_xmit since the use of RCU primitives
is severely busted. I looked over the code and the fact it breaks on
uniprocessor is really a joke.
No offense guys, but this is pretty bad. How about something simple,
like a spinlock or
multiple send queues per proc?
Jeff
