Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] ixgbe: fix for race with 8259(8|9) during shutdown
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:20:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100611232029.31430.75582.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@intel.com>

There is a small window where the watchdog could be running as the
interface is brought down on a NIC with two ports wired back to back.
If ixgbe_update_status is then called can lead to a panic.  This patch
allows the update to bail if we are in that condition.

This issue was orignally reported and fix proposed by Akihiko Saitou.
