3.5.7.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ccae0e50c16a7f7adb029c169147400d1ce9f703 upstream.
Bastian Bittorf reported that some of the silent freezes on a Linksys WRT54G
were due to overflow of the RX DMA ring buffer, which was created with 64
slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook,
which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of
slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however,
I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number
of slots is being increased to 256.
