I tried removing the battery, the behavior was the same as with the battery. I added the logging to the driver but nothing additional came up in the logs. I have to conclude that the issue is solely a HW bug. Thanks for your help. On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 3:02 PM, Mark Bidewell wrote: > Thanks

Hi Robert, Yes that is correct about RSC vs. LRO. Have you tried turning of RSC on 82599? ethtool -K lro off ethX Also how about if you disable DCB? Does that have impact on latency? Also could you please send us following after loading the driver: Output from: dmesg lspci -vvv Thanks, Step

Getting two distinctive behaviors from two RHEL 5 servers. Seems the host with the 82599 NICs reports significant latency when read requests surpass 32KB. The host with the 82598 NICs does not demonstrate this behavior. It's our understanding that the two NIC adapters perform different offload c

Looking over the code it looks like there is only one spot where the driver could be failing without displaying some sort of error message. That would be at the register_netdev call. If you look in the netdev.c file you should be able to find a tag named "err_register:". It would greatly help wi

Are you sure this is the failure case? I ask since it seems like the e1000e is claiming the device and assigning it irq 47 for use with MSI based on the snippet from the log below. I would have expected to see an error stating that it failed to load the driver on the interface. Thanks, Alex On

Mark, I could recommend checking the dmesg log after you have unloaded/reloaded the e1000e driver. There is likely an error that is being reported that is preventing the driver from loading and knowing what the error is that is being reported would go a long way toward telling us what the issue i

If there is no MSI it should be using legacy interrupts and interrupt 46 is not a legacy interrupt. Can you try to boot the OS with MSI disabled?The boot option is "nomsi". Maybe it will force the correct interrupt option for the kernel to use. Cheers, John From: Mark Bidewell [mailto:m
