The 8110SC rev d chip on our board shows a regression which the 8110SB chip did not have. When inbound traffic is overflowing the receive descriptor queue, "holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer is filled again. The packets are than completely processed, but the ring remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting the interface down and up can fix the problem temporary from userspace. For some reason we don't know, this behaviour is not occuring if the RxVlan bit for hardware VLAN untagging is set. There is another "Work around for AMD plateform" in the current code which checks the VLAN status word in receive descriptors, but does never come to effect when hardware VLAN support is enabled. We assume that this is a bug in the chip. The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term testing. This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.
