Nice. FYI, the patch also made it to master. Gonna start testing it today.
MOD: it did not helped, same error message, within 24 hours...

Is it just me or some else also experienced this? The interrupt Errs seem greatly reduced with latest mt76 code upgrade.

Here is my statistic but I don't know if it's good or bad. The ERR counter seems to be quite high in my case...

I don't see any Kernel Errors in my log. I'm not sure if this is related to my setup...
ERRis incremented in the case of errors in the IO-APIC bus (the bus that connects the CPUs in a SMP system. This means that an error has been detected, the IO-APIC automatically retry the transmission, so it should not be a big problem, but you should read the SMP-FAQ.
Source: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
Never figured out what the most optimum tweaked smp_affinity values are
Just let you guys aware that there’s a hw offloading fix in the pull request, at here.
The next dream is to get a stable switch driver.

We need this patch for the DIR860L...
Anyone can guide me how to apply an uncommitted patch to the build?
Can someone knowledgeable point me to the right direction of how to apply these patches to DIR-860L B1 source trees? I just couldn't find the corresponding .c file to patch on, totally lost.
Did you find out how to apply the patch?
Should work
@ All, sorry for the incommunicado but it has been a crazy time with SARS-CoV-2 rampaging about. I hope all is well with you, your family and friends.
I have been working almost every day from 09:00 till 22:30 so no free time to tinker around. To top it of, I managed to nuke my build server (broken dependencies, yay). No builds from me in the forseeable future I'm afraid 
Normally there would be a holiday for me at the end of April but because of the virus, everything is uncertain.

Take it easy man, things will be normal again at some point.

The 5.4 patches are now in the master. The switch driver is finally seems to be stable, but the HW offload is lost for good as it seems. I don't think any of the developers will spend time to patch the 4.14 anymore. IMHO it would be more productive to start testing the 5.4 patches with more users now that it reached the master branch.

It seems it may not be lost for good...

If it is coming from Blogic, I can very much believe it 
I'm asking here since all people on this topic at least have a DIR-860L. I've been building and loading a master build (now with 5.4) on my DIR-860L but it craps out after changing its IP - every single time. A reboot will make it go crazy (it never boots, or at least it seems to hang somewhere).
Only my 5 GHz radio seems to be recognised as well, 2,4 GHz radio is nowhere to be seen (see my comment on the 5.4 PR).
Has anybody tried 5.4 master on their DIR-860L? What's your experience?
It's not my daily driver anymore so I can 'afford' to test builds.
