Section 5.5.3.2 of the datasheet says,
If FIFO Underrun, Byte Count Mismatch, Excessive Collision, or
Excessive Deferral (if enabled) errors occur, transmission ceases.
In this situation, the chip asserts a TXER interrupt rather than TXDN.
But the handler for the TXDN is the only way that the transmit queue
gets restarted. Hence, an aborted transmission can result in a watchdog
timeout.
This problem can be reproduced on congested link, as that can result in
excessive transmitter collisions. Another way to reproduce this is with
a FIFO Underrun, which may be caused by DMA latency.
In event of a TXER interrupt, prevent a watchdog timeout by restarting
transmission.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
