From d08935c274b7e552e47633cf0cbd74b6e953d228 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Skidmore Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:20:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: fix for race with 8259(8|9) during shutdown There is a small window where the watchdog could be running as the interface is brought down on a NIC with two ports wired back to back. If ixgbe_update_status is then called can lead to a panic. This patch allows the update to bail if we are in that condition. This issue was orignally reported and fix proposed by Akihiko Saitou.
