Subject: [PATCH] igc: fix netdev not re-attached after resume if interface is down
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:22:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717092159.35496-2-pd-lkml@3b.pm> (raw)
__igc_resume() calls netif_device_attach() only inside the
netif_running() branch, so an interface that was down during suspend
is never re-attached on resume. It then stays in the not-present state
that __igc_shutdown() set via netif_device_detach(): ethtool reports
ENODEV and every attempt to bring the interface up fails the
netif_device_present() check in __dev_open() with -ENODEV, silently,
since __igc_resume() returns 0. Only reloading the driver recovers the
device.
This is easy to hit in practice because NetworkManager brings managed
interfaces down before sleep unless Wake-on-LAN is configured, making
the adapter unusable after every suspend/resume cycle with WoL
disabled.
Re-attach the netdev on every successful resume, as igb and e1000e do.
Fixes: 6f31d6b643a3 ("igc: Refactor runtime power management flow")
