Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net: atl1c: fix soft lockup on out-of-range tpd_cons read
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:13:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921091334.3571525-2-tamas@rimpianto.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921091334.3571525-1-tamas@rimpianto.com>
The hardware can report an out-of-range tpd_cons (seen as 0xffff)
while the PCIe link/MAC is resetting. An out-of-range value can
never be reached and the loop below would spin forever. To avoid
a soft lockup treat it as "nothing new to clean" instead.
Reproduced on two machines, same NIC (Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0,
4-port), triggered by rebooting a Mikrotik CCR2004 PCIe card that
the ports are directly linked to:
- Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, kernel 7.0.0-31-generic. The link-flap
precursor, before the lockup was captured with a full trace
elsewhere:
atl1c 0000:05:00.0 enp5s0f0: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 4: transmit queue 2 timed out 489984 ms
atl1c 0000:05:00.0: MAC state machine can't be idle since disabled for 10ms second
atl1c 0000:05:00.0: atl1c: enp5s0f0 NIC Link is Up<65535 Mbps Full Duplex>
65535 (0xffff) here is the same value tpd_cons reads back once the
loop below gets stuck.
- Proxmox VE, kernel 7.0.14-11-pve. Same NIC/trigger, this time
caught by the soft lockup watchdog with a full stack trace:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 354s! [napi/eth%d-0:329]
CPU: 12 UID: 0 PID: 329 Comm: napi/eth%d-0 Tainted: P O L 7.0.14-11-pve #1 PREEMPT(lazy)
