Re: BUG: bad unlock balance detected! e1000e

[Frederik Deweerdt]

Hello Zdenek,

This could be due to 717d438d1fde94decef874b9808379d1f4523453
    "e1000e: debug contention on NVM SWFLAG"
Error handling is missing from e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan so it may happen
that we don't acquire the nvm_mutex if the card times out.

Adding Thomas to CC.

Regards,
Frederik

It some error checking is missing in e1000e: debug contention on NVM
