ax88179 regression

ax88179 regression

[renevant]

Hello,

I have finally nailed down my other issues and i'm at a point where I can 
bisect from a point that is 100% stable and working.


I am currently running a kernel checked out at commit 
d194c031994d3fc1038fa09e9e92d9be24a21921 

A point in 3.12rc4

At this point the ax88179 works without issue even with scatter gather turned 
on. So somewhere from this point something goes wrong and there is some 
condition that exists that can lock up the nic.


I will keep bisecting at report my findings.


Regards,

Will Trives

Everything is still working at commit 63a67a72d63dd077c2313cf19eb29d8e4bfa6963 

At this point i'm beginning to think all the issues i've been having are 
motherboard bios and compiler flag issues.

Absolute last post from me. 

I migrated to a Intel Sandy Bridge based system to test. Definitely something 
going on with the AMD based system, could be power supply/motherboard bios 
related.

On the Intel system the ax88179 still locked up one time.  I rebuilt with for-
usb-linus tree merged and I reverted:

xhci: remove conversion from generic to pci device in xhci_mem.c

I can't say for sure if this commit is a problem but this kernel build has 
been up now for several hours without an issue and i've put it through paces 
that usually lock up the nic.
