It's not on RHEL, it's in the MRG Realtime kernel, which is a kernel with the PREEMPT_RT patchset applied. It's a layered product where the RT kernel runs on a RHEL6 user-space. We don't really have a forum for this, which is why I asked Luis to reach out upstream. In answer to your question, a

The request for stats should be happening only once every 2 seconds. Do you have a script pounding on getting stats repeatedly? Are you sure that it's the request for stats that is causing the issue you are seeing or are you guessing that this is the case? Can you make this happen without bon

[E1000-devel] [PATCH] e1000e: balance semaphore put/get for 82573

2013-07-12 Thread akepner
Hi e1000e-devel; Steven (cc-ed) noticed an imbalance in semaphore put/get for 82573-based NICs. Don't we need something like the following (untested) patch? From: Steven La Acked-by: Arthur Kepner --- diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/82571.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e

Yes the patch is still needed. Setting the MTU smaller than a normal packet will cause the frame to be IP fragmented. So you should be seeing at least 2 packets on the wire being IP fragments. Use wireshark (or something similar) to make sure those packets make it to on to the wire. Cheers,

Hi list, I am facing a strange issue with igb driver. If i set my mtu to 1000, then ping -s 1200 does not work. (the same thing works with e1000e interface) On further debugging, i reached http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ec54d7d6e40b04c16
