Worked - no errors. Only version so far that allows the win7 backup to complete. * MMAP + NO DMAR + disable_msi=1... also works w/o errors... leaving this one running for a while - also completed a backup successfully. Fastest of the lot... about 3x faster than any other version, working or not. I'm leaving this one running for now. Not retesting jumbo for now. Be happy to help dig further. Tentative recommendations: 1) The af alternative patch seems rather necessary. First alternative seems to be working, I'd suggest that be submitted and backported to 2.6.32. 2) Steven's pskb_may_pull patch also ought to be included and backported. 3) Jumbo frame support for yukon2 should probably be disabled until/if fixed. 4) When possible I'll test dmar and disable_msi, and no dmar and no disable_msi. When I first hit issues, I was running without DMAR, but also without the above patches. I suppose the non-working permutations need to be either fixed or invalidated (or well documented). 5) It would be nice if someone with comparable hardware could reproduce these issues. FWIW, I can only recreate the crash running windows backup to a cifs share. Copying large files doesn't seem to do it. Could also be some other interaction going on here that perhaps others aren't running - would be happy to compare notes. Notes: This *could* be coincidental, but maybe not... With MMAP+NO DMAR + disable_msi there are far fewer ... actually almost no... bind error reports... and no bind format error messages. With NOMMAP and alternative one there are a few more bind error messages and one format error message during the several hours that version was up. All other configurations going back perhaps for two weeks have significantly more bind error reports - and all versions show increasing frequency of bind format errors (IPV6 only) in the roughly 10-15 minutes preceding the lockup/crash/interrupt error messages. There are none immediately preceding any crash, but perhaps there is some correlation between the network errors and bind ipv6 packets. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
