Of course: "dma_size == re->data_size".

Just FYI - still crashes with default copybreak. Didn't get the netdev
watchdog this time - just DMAR and then HW watchdog reboot (see below).

So what's known to be required to cause this crash:

1) sky2 @ 1Gb
2) High sustained RX load (> 40MBps)
3) Uptime (I can't cause this to happen just after boot).
4) DMAR enabled (doesn't crash w/o DMAR).
5) copybreak != 1

What might be required but is unproven:
1) cifs traffic (I've only seen this when the high traffic was due to a
Win7 box doing backup). I've tried but have been unable to recreate by
just copying large files. Backups done from a Mac OS laptop don't
trigger the issue even though that machine is also connecting with CIFS
(TimeMachine works better that way).
2) DHCP traffic. There has always been some sort of DHCP exchange in the
log before the first indication of a problem (DMAR).
3) Total throughput since boot. DK about this - however the uptime
component before the latest crash was the shortest yet. In preparation I
moved a bunch of large files around on the Windows box to ensure a
larger than normal backup run. I also ran manually before going to bed
(then moved the files around again). Didn't crash when I was watching -
but did overnight. Total uptime before this crash was only about 6
hours. Previously (with less backup data) the system didn't crash until
24-36 hours.

Observations:

Copybreak: I did play for an hour or so yesterday with copybreak=1000.
Ran traffic, etc. No crash, but throughput was lower and the system was
clearly working way harder than normal. Given the whine of the fans I'm
not keen on leaving the system in that state for any extended period of
time.

MTU: Increasing the MTU to 9000 yesterday after the system had been up
for some time (copybreak=1) crashed the system immediately. Subsequently
I have been able to change the mtu without crashes (although the driver
does end up in some sort of state that requires a restart after lowering
the mtu). I suspect that over time something is being corrupted
resulting in the crash when changing mtu. Whatever it becoming corrupted
is probably related to the other crash as well. That suggests to me that
copybreak=1 is preventing or delaying the manifestation of the
underlying issue but is unrelated to the source of corruption.

This test in dma-debug is bogus. Because the debug code matches
dma based on address and size; and is perfectly valid to sync a value
less than size. This is the patch I sent earlier, it isn't 100%
correct but it will let you keep testing
.....................................


This should fix the dma-debug API code (and documentation), to
avoid false positives when sync is done on a partial map.

Ok - applied. Noise gone... however I'm not sure whether I'll be able to
keep dma-debug going long enough to catch anything. num_free_entries
keeps dropping... looks like entries are not freed. I'm running with a
huge number for now & sky2 as the driver filter. Is there a reason that
entries wouldn't be unmapped, or is dma-debug.c just not processing the
unmap correctly?
