hyper_ch, please test the very latest kernel from raring-updates (3.8.0-31.46), which contains the following patch:
commit bc421a035e6cc8420866754af35b355c165c6ed2 Author: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com> Date: Mon Jul 29 10:24:04 2013 -0700 atl1c: use custom skb allocator BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1221794 [ Upstream commit 7b70176421993866e616f1cbc4d0dd4054f1bf78 ] We had reports ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 ) that using high order pages for skb allocations is problematic for atl1c We do not know exactly what the problem is, but we suspect that crossing 4K pages is not well supported by this hardware. Use a custom allocator, using page allocator and 2K fragments for optimal stack behavior. We might make this allocator generic in future kernels. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #54021 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132477 Title: DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for xx bytes at device [AR8151 network] Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I just setup Kubuntu Raring on my notebook yesterday and things seem to work fine except for samba/cifs. Sill using SMBv3 I can't transfer large files anymore. At about 100MB transfer the kernel log gets filled with those error messages: DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for xx bytes at device .... and the network becomes completely unusable. Only solution I have found was to reboot the system and at shut down, you also keep getting tons of those errors. However when using SCP or rsync over SSH there aren't any problems. My network card: 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0) Meanwhile I reverted back to using the 3.5.0-27 kernel from Quantal - that one has no issues. --- ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: hyper 2624 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: hyper 2624 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC1D0p: hyper 2624 F...m pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
