When the NIC driver doesn't configure enough buffers to keep up with a big TFTP windowsize, error reporting is less than optimal, e.g. on AX88x72A T BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT T BBBBBBBBBBBBT BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT or on older DWMAC1000 (non-EQOS): WARNING: eth0: Rx error status (8800) T BBBBBBWARNING: eth0: Rx error status (8800) While we probably want to: - decrease rate limit in __net_poll() - increase ring buffer depth for affected drivers For now, at least print a helpful warning.
