Comment 43 for bug 1175091

Yes! I think your rpm installation is correct! Thanks!

It looks like the v3.6 driver did not affect the issue. However I think I can not just test driver only, maybe we should test by changing the whole kernel due to it may has another fixes in neworking or other related subsystem.

Actually there already had a bisected result, it may related to the issue (from: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021#c14)

    net: use bigger pages in __netdev_alloc_frag

    We currently use percpu order-0 pages in __netdev_alloc_frag
    to deliver fragments used by __netdev_alloc_skb()

    Depending on NIC driver and arch being 32 or 64 bit, it allows a page to
    be split in several fragments (between 1 and 8), assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096

    Switching to bigger pages (32768 bytes for PAGE_SIZE=4096 case) allows :

    - Better filling of space (the ending hole overhead is less an issue)

    - Less calls to page allocator or accesses to page->_count

    - Could allow struct skb_shared_info futures changes without major
      performance impact.

    This patch implements a transparent fallback to smaller
    pages in case of memory pressure.

    It also uses a standard "struct page_frag" instead of a custom one.
