Looking further at this, I haven't been able to reproduce the slowdowns with other services than Samba. Oh, and it's Asus M2A, not A2N. Not that it matters a lot :-) Fixed by Francois Romieu? http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg48351.html http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.23-rc5/r8169-20070903/0002-r8169-workaround-against-ignored-TxPoll-writes-8168.patch The link to a kernel bugzilla bug in the original bug here should probably be replaced by http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7924 as this one is still open. Replacing the 2.6.22.x r8169.ko module with one built from the 2.6.23-rc8 source makes the problem disappear, and so far I have experienced no bad side effects. 2.6.22.9 kernel with the two patches is in koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19726 In 2.6.22.9-91, in updates-testing soon. I have just tested, and 2.6.22.9-91 fixes the problem - many thanks. |
