Hallo

someone and I got an regression with e1000e since kernel 4.14.3 and it seems there is 4.14.4 on the way without a fix.


bug report is here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198047

( added stable and netdev to CC )

Yes I have a box with e1000e and it seems something at least breaks NM after 4.14.3.

Again, can people try 4.14.5-rc1? It should be resolved there.

Oops, that would be 4.14.4-rc1. Any why do you say above that is on the
way without a fix, did you test it?

I didn't tested 4.14.4-rc1 but somone from the bug report tested it and told is not resolved.

I'll fire up an build in a bit and let you know.

Great, and maybe cc: the developers and mailing list for this driver at
the same time? :)


Greg,

last time I reported something about e100* someone told me to just CC netdev =)

However the issue still remains with 4.14.4-rc1 and NM , and is still fine with connman.

I don't even think is something about the driver itself because I've quick compiled the out-of-tree-e1000e
and breaks with NM in the same way. ( which should not be possible ? )

Even when 4.14.3 was biggiSH :) after a quick scan and assuming the e1000e patches are fine , remaining candidates
should be the IRQ* and x86/* ones ?

I am not assuming the e1000e patches are all fine :)

Any chance you can do a 'git bisect' between 4.14.2 and 4.14.3 to find
the offending patch?


I can but I'm not sure I can do that today , the box is my working box and can't take it down right now.

Maybe I can do that tonight depending on how tired I am :)
