Here is the cpuinfo:

The problems comes only when network going over 40MBit. Have tested with rsync and FTP. Same problem with samba connection.

Actually, the second one is trivial, just modify gem_rxmac_interrupt()
as follow:

if (rxmac_stat& MAC_RXSTAT_OFLW) {
u32 smac = readl(gp->regs + MAC_SMACHINE);

netdev_err(dev, "RX MAC fifo overflow smac[%08x]\n", smac);
gp->net_stats.rx_over_errors++;
gp->net_stats.rx_fifo_errors++;

- ret = gem_rxmac_reset(gp);
+ ret = 1;
}

And tell us if that makes a difference.

Cheers,
Ben.

What's your machine model (cat /proc/cpuinfo) and what do you do to
trigger the problem ? I'm trying to reproduce here and so far had
no success doing so.

Okay. I have made the change. The only difference is that:

It seems that the Network dies and halt for ca. 25 seconds. After a
while it comes a call trace and the rsync session is dead. But not the
hole system dies.
