Hi again,
below you can find the patch that I'm currently trying out. The
change is according to the discussion above. Instead of setting the rx
index as the driver does during startup, it decrements it by one.
It has been running at ~1300KB/s in RX and 100KB/s in TX for the last
couple of hours without problems. Approximately there have been one
underflow per second. CPU load is constantly over 80%, pretty much just the
interrupt thread that is using the CPU.
I can see that at the entry of b43_dma_discard all three indexes,
ring->current_slot(ring), get_current_rxslot(ring) and
b43_dma_read(ring,B43_DMA32_RXINDEX) are always the same. Of course the rx
index is in bytes. So this is as expected.
B
I also has to back my statement that I always see a normal rx interrupt at
the same time as the underflow interrupt. I have seen a couple of cases
where that didn't happen. So this seems like a better way of doing
things than setting rx index to max slots when having underflows. This
way device and driver collisions are better avoided. Good idea Michael.

Subject:[PATCH] B43: Handle DMA RX descriptor underrun
From: Thommy Jakobsson <thommyj at gmail.com>
Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could
happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can
handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and
refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This
patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will
handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.
