TSO on the r8169 is the magic switch but the regression makes imvho more sense from a VM pov: - the corrupted file has the same size as the expected file - the corrupted file exhibits holes which come as a multiple of 4096 bytes (8*4k, 2 places, there may be more) - the r8169 driver does not know what a page is - the 8169 hardware has a small 8192 bytes Tx buffer It would be nice if someone could do a sendfile + vsftp test with TSO on a different hardware. While I could not reproduce the corruption when simply downloading a file that I had copied on the server with scp, it triggered almost immediately after I copied it locally and tried to download the copy. -- Ueimor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
