I know that some of the xhci ring code is rather complex [1]. But that particular patch should be completely safe as it just adds some extra nop commands into the ring. Possibly Mark is seeing some additional failure caused by something else. Without my fix the xhci code carries on sending data to the usb hardware, but no ethernet frames get transmitted. [1] I've some thoughts on how to simplify some of the horridness, it also ought to be possible to transmit from the USB Ge card with a similar amount of cpu overhead as a reasonable (single queue) ethernet card. At the moment the USB code has for horrid code paths. But I'm not looking at that code at the moment because Sarah needs to catch up with her patch queue.
