That is incoming network packets. So those should be arriving and leaving
again. That could be network layer bugs or rtl8139 bugs. Can you back out
the rtl8139 change and see if the problem stops occuring.
It's this rtl8139.c change in 2.2.11:
@@ -982,9 +1042,9 @@
rtl8129_rx(dev);
if (status & (TxOK | TxErr)) {
- unsigned int dirty_tx;
+ unsigned int dirty_tx = tp->dirty_tx;
- for (dirty_tx = tp->dirty_tx; dirty_tx < tp->cur_tx; dirty_tx++) {
+ while (tp->cur_tx - dirty_tx > 0) {
int entry = dirty_tx % NUM_TX_DESC;
int txstatus = inl(ioaddr + TxStatus0 + entry*4);
Unsigned stuff + comparisons against being negative == leak.
