Descriptor rings were not initialized at zero when allocated When area contained garbage data, it caused skb_over_panic in e1000_clean_rx_irq (if data had E1000_RXD_STAT_DD bit set) This patch makes use of dma_zalloc_coherent to make sure the ring is memset at 0 to prevent the area from containing garbage. Following is the signature of the panic: IODDR0@0.0: skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:80407b20 len:64010 put:64010 head:ab46d800 data:ab46d842 tail:0xab47d24c end:0xab46df40 dev:eth0 IODDR0@0.0: BUG: failure at net/core/skbuff.c:105/skb_panic()!

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
