Hi Horatiu, > Currently when injecting or extracting a frame from CPU, the frame > is given to the HW each word at a time. There is another way to > inject/extract frames from CPU using FDMA(Frame Direct Memory Access). > In this way the entire frame is given to the HW. This improves both > RX and TX bitrate. I wanted to test this. ping and such works fine and I'm also seeing fdma interrupts. But as soon as I try iperf3 I get a skb_panic (due to frame size?). Hope that splash below helps. -michael [ 159.778850] skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:c07960c0 len:106 put:4 head:c8cc6e00 data:c8cc6e9a tail:0xc8cc6f04 end:0xc8cc6f00 dev:eth0 [ 159.788067] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 159.792575] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:113! ..
