Hi Tomas,

executive summary: it is not fixed in 3.10rc6

I looked at the git log of drivers/misc/mei and it looked promising.

However, it still does not work, commit
42f132febff3b7b42c6c9dbfc151f29233be3132 does not seem to help enough on
my hardware.

Still just unbinding and rebinding with
echo 0000:00:03.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mei_me/unbind
echo 0000:00:03.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mei_me/bind

triggers lots of
[  318.330981] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: wrong host start response
[  318.330984] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
[  318.330990] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
[  318.330993] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

[  346.571031] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: init clients timeout hbm_state = 1.
[  346.571047] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
[  376.631030] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: init clients timeout hbm_state = 1.
[  376.631044] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

It does, however, calm down after a few seconds, only to spew a few lines
once every 30 seconds:

[  406.691032] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: init clients timeout hbm_state = 1.
[  406.691048] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
[  436.751033] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: init clients timeout hbm_state = 1.
[  436.751047] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
[  466.811030] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: init clients timeout hbm_state = 1.
[  466.811044] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

So it is not yet fixed, unfortunately.

Best regards,
