...And that's what troubles me: the L1 chip isn't what I'd characterize
as "popular" -- it's LOM only, and it's found in only about 25
mainboards that I know of (from voluntary user reports) -- yet its
prevalence in the tx timeout list seems to be quickly rising.

Can you produce a list from your database for me that includes the
kernel version for each of the 122 reported atl1 dev_watchdog warnings?
I'd like to see if I can correlate an increase in the warnings with a
particular change we made.

Thanks.

Thanks.
