All,
I'm seeing some patterns here with all of the network driver problem
reports, but I need more information to help narrow it down further.
I ask all of you who are having problems to take a minute to fill
out this survey and return it to Kris Kennaway (on cc:) and myself.
Thanks.
1. Are you experiencing network hangs and/or "timeout" messages on the
console? If yes, please provide a _brief_ description of the problem.
OK, next question, to all em users:
If your em device is using a shared interrupt, and you are NOT
experiencing timeout problems when using this device, please let me
know:
Based on successful testing on a machine with shared em interrupt, the
following patch should work around the problem *in that case*.
Note that this patch will not help you if you are not using the em
driver, or if you are seeing the problem with non-shared em interrupt
(I have investigated on such outlier, which seems to be a problem with
a particular model of em hardware and not a generic problem with the
driver).

Please let Scott and I know whether or not this patch works for you
(in addition to the information previously requested, if you have not
already sent it). Unfortunately it is only a workaround, but it
points to an underlying problem with fast interrupt handlers on a
shared irq that can be studied separately.
