Subject: Re: [PATCH] Prevent netpoll hanging when link is down
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 20:59:28 -0700 [thread overview]

Wait, I think I see the problem.
Sungem processes link status in it's ->poll() NAPI handler.
This occurs via calls to gem_pcs_interrupt(), for example.
Non-pcs sungem variants use a timer to poll link status.
When the link changes state, this link state processing
does printk()'s.
So perhaps that is why it deadlocks.
