>
> In a setup where a Thunderbolt hub connects to Ethernet and a display through USB Type-C, users may experience a hung task timeout when they remove the cable between the PC and the Thunderbolt hub.
> This is because the igb_down function is called multiple times when the Thunderbolt hub is unplugged. For example, the igb_io_error_detected triggers the first call, and the igb_remove triggers the second call.
> The second call to igb_down will block at napi_synchronize.
> Here's the call trace:

> In this case, igb_io_error_detected detaches the network interface and requests a PCIE slot reset, however, the PCIE reset callback is not being invoked and thus the Ethernet connection breaks down.
> As the PCIE error in this case is a non-fatal one, requesting a slot reset can be avoided.
> This patch fixes the task hung issue and preserves Ethernet connection by ignoring non-fatal PCIE errors.

> This commit has been tested on a HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook and a Caldigit TS3+ Thunderbolt hub. The Ethernet driver for the hub is igb. Non-fatal PCIE errors happen when users hot-plug the cables connected to the chromebook or to the external display.
