Sorry, forgot to say what the problem is. Doing
nc host port < /dev/zero
on a sending machine (not skge) to an skge machine that is receiving:
nc -l -p port >/dev/null
with ~60 MiB/s speed, causes the interface go malfunct. A slow
transfer doesn't cause a problem.
Also, after some fiddling, I noticed that not changing the register
write order on patch:
+ skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_WP), start);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_RP), start);
- skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
fixes the visible effect.. Possibly not the root cause of the problem,
but changing the order back fixes networking here.
