Subject: tg3 broken in 3.18.0?
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 00:06:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141210230634.GA22884@teela.fritz.box> (raw)

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded a machine from 3.17.3 to 3.18.0 and noticed that after
the upgrade, the machine's network interface (which is a tg3) would no
longer run correctly (or, for that matter, run at all). During the
upgrade, I didn't change any kernel config options or any other parts
of the system.

Since the machine is remote and I don't have direct access to it, it's
kind of hard currently to give more details, but here's what I'm
seeing in the logs:

[Booting 3.17.3:]

[   12.530363] tg3 0000:02:00.0
        enp2s0: No firmware running

That's the last thing I find about the card in the logs, the machine
will then just sit there, working normally but being unreachable from
the network.

If I see things correctly, there were only two patches affecting tg3
between 3.17(.3) and 3.18:

2c7c9ea429ba30fe506747b7da110e2212d8fefa
a620a6bc1c94c22d6c312892be1e0ae171523125

The affected machine being, like I said, remote, I've not yet been
able to do more thorough tests. So I thought I'd report the issue and
see if someone else has also seen it already, or can test things with
a more easily accesible machine. Otherwise, I might start digging
deeper.

Greetings,
Nils
