Does the patch below make a difference ?

Idem.

This correction seems to work.

I read somewhere pci_free_consistent (in velocity_free_dma_rings) couldn't be use in a spin_lock.
When I move velocity_free_rings outside the spin_lock, error desappeare but data transfert doesn't work after the mtu change.
When I add velocity_give_many_rx_descs all work.

I will make some more tests.
