In the v1 thread in August I asked for adding a description of the kdump
problem we observed to the commit message. I came up with this text,
maybe we can still add it, or maybe a shhortened version of it?
This patch also fixes a hang in igc_probe() when loading the igc
driver in the kdump kernel on systems supporting PTM.
The igc driver running in the base kernel enables PTM trigger in
igc_probe(). Therefore the driver is always in PTM trigger mode,
except in brief periods when manually triggering a PTM cycle.
When a crash occurs, the NIC is reset while PTM trigger is enabled.
Due to a hardware problem, the NIC is subsequently in a bad busmaster
state and doesn't handle register reads/writes. When running
igc_probe() in the kdump kernel, the first register access to a NIC
register hangs driver probing and ultimately breaks kdump.
With this patch, igc has PTM trigger disabled most of the time,
and the trigger is only enabled for very brief (10 - 100 us) periods
when manually triggering a PTM cycle. Chances that a crash occurs
during a PTM trigger are not 0, but extremly reduced.
Thanks,
Corinna
