New Contents: A serious performance problem occurs when running using a bond and a bridge on top of NICs that use LRO. LRO should get disabled automatically when the NIC is added to a bridge but this doesn't work right when there is a bond in between. This patch disables LRO on all nics.

LRO should get disabled automatically when the NIC is added to a bridge but this doesn't work right when there is a bond in between. This patch disables LRO on all nics.+Previously, when an NIC was added to a bridge LRO would not automatically be disabled if a bond was also present. The use of a bond and a bridge on top of NICs using LRO presented serious performance degradation. This update ensures that LRO is disabled on all NICs, avoiding this performance degradation issue.
On rhevh-6.2-20120117, LRO is disabled for all NICs now. [root@unused admin]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/bnx2x.conf options bnx2x disable_tpa=1 Hi Mike, is above information is enough to close this bug? if not, could you ask customer to verify this bug in their environment?
That should be sufficient. Please confirm that it's disabled when nics are bonded as well. Thanks
It will be sufficient for any bnx2x hardware, but will not be useful for other hardware that needs LRO disabled.

Hi Andy, This is what we're doing: echo "options bnx2x disable_tpa=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/bnx2x.conf echo "options mlx4_en num_lro=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/mlx4_en.conf echo "options enic lro_disable=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/enic.conf echo "options s2io lro=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/s2io.conf Are we missing anything? These were the options given to us back in the 5.x timeframe.
Dropping needinfo, we're covering everything.
According to comment 8, comment 9 and comment 12, I change the bug status to 'Verified.'
