Request a kernel update to avoid "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8168): transmission queue 0 timeout" error and network hang

If the Jetson Nano has about 700 Mbps of network traffic, I get the error message “NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8168): transmission queue 0 timed out” and the network hangs.

And I replaced the network device driver as shown below.
Reference: Jetson TK1 r8169 NETDEV WATCHDOG Timeout solved!
Network device driver: ttps: //github.com/mtorromeo/r8168
Test version: r8168-8.048.02

No more “NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8168): transmission queue 0 timed out” error message and no network outage.

Request a kernel update to avoid “NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8168): transmission queue 0 timeout” error and network hang.

Hi,

We use the upstream kernel. If this patch would be on upstream, then we will pick it.

Where should I request to include the modified realtek network device driver as an upstream kernel?
