r8169: RxFIFO overflow oddities with 8168 chipsets.
Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard
in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not
always mandatory (is it at all ?).
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25
Missed ~55% packets. Note:
- this is an old SiS 965L motherboard
- the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26
The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it
crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work.
