Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] PROBLEM: [x86] Running ptpd2 using an Intel
 82572EI (e1000e) leads to a kernel oops (3.12.26)

Looking at your patches on netdev, it appears that there are flags set in the skb that should never be set for the 82572EI as that part doesn't have hardware timestamping. This points to a bug in the ptpd code.

Quick analysis so far:
Looks like the socket enabled hw timestamping but the network card (from the lspci output below) is not capable of hw timestamping. queue_work thus gets fed an uninitialized work struct and bails out here.
