Description Igor Novgorodov 2012-01-30 12:28:09 UTC

These warnings pops up a few times a second when a relatively high load is imposed on 10Gbit ethernet, and causing performance degradation.
Looking into code, it seems to be related to segmentation offload, GSO, and checksums.
The igb and ixgbe modules are out-of-kernel versions from sourceforge.
IGB 3.3.6 and IXGBE 3.7.17, latest at the moment.
When i've fallen back to the 2.6.39.4 with the same modules, the problems disappear.

Comment 1 Stephen Hemminger 2020-03-27 03:05:30 UTC

Please reproduce with current kernel.

Comment 2 Igor Novgorodov 2020-03-27 11:46:08 UTC

Lets close this old one maybe.
Most probably not valid anymore.
