Summary: mv643xx_eth: network becomes unresponsive after ring buffer slot change using ethtool

Full Description: After changing ring buffer slot values using ethtool on interface using mv643xx_eth (v1.4), the network becomes increasingly unresponsive until network connectivity is dropped.

Keywords: mv643xx_eth networking

Ring parameters for eth0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:             4096
RX Mini:        0
RX Jumbo:       0
TX:             4096
Current hardware settings:
RX:             128
RX Mini:        0
RX Jumbo:       0
TX:             256
<-----

Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:  Defaults for the driver are shown above in ethtool output.  'free -m' does show increased memory usage when you make ring buffer slot change (increase), but any change always results in the network becoming increasingly less responsive until connections drop.

The device is a "Pogoplug v4" using a Marvell Kirkwood 800MHz SoC, with 128MB of RAM, using fully hardware supported Arch Linux ARM release.
