Thats the guess yes, but since MTU can be more than 4096 bytes, it could
be something else, some kind of DMA problem.
I wonder why rx_buffer_len includes VLAN_HLEN as this nic provides
accelerated vlan.
drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1c/atl1c_main.c uses :
hw->dmar_block = atl1c_dma_req_1024;
while drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl1.c uses :
hw->dmar_block = atl1_dma_req_256;
drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl1.c also has this code around line
1962 :
/* rrd seems to be bad */
if (unlikely(i-- > 0)) {
/* rrd may not be DMAed completely */
udelay(1);
goto chk_rrd;
}
I would add the following debugging aid just to make sure...
