Subject: Re: [ISSUE: sky2 - rx error] Link stops working under heavy traffic load connected to a mv88e6176
Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 12:13:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5927FFAF.40301@aoifes.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <591B267D.1030800@aoifes.com>

As modifying sky2 code I have not could get any solution, then I have 
modified some parameters on the ethernet interface and using a MTU = 
1503 and disabling TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) mechanism all 
communication errors disappear, both the rx errors due to too long 
packets and tx timeout errors. I have performed iperf tests during 1 
hour (downstream and upstream) and the performance of the ethernet is 
stable. Furthermore, disabling SG (scatter-gather) improves the 
throughput of the ethernet interface with traffic upstream.

Is it possible that these offload mechanism don't work fine with the 
sky2 driver?

Thanks,

Rafa
