The driver does not implement a shutdown handler which leads to issues when using kexec in certain scenarios. The NIC keeps on fetching descriptors which gets flagged by the IOMMU with errors like this: DMAR: DMAR:[DMA read] Request device [5e:00.0]fault addr fffff000 DMAR: DMAR:[DMA read] Request device [5e:00.0]fault addr fffff000 DMAR: DMAR:[DMA read] Request device [5e:00.0]fault addr fffff000 DMAR: DMAR:[DMA read] Request device [5e:00.0]fault addr fffff000 DMAR: DMAR:[DMA read] Request device [5e:00.0]fault addr fffff000 Signed-off-by: Moritz Fischer <mdf@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I'd consider it a bug-fix but Jakub said it's a feature, so net-next it is. I don't have a strong preference either way. Changes from v2: - Changed to net-next - Removed extra whitespace Changes from v1: - Replace call to de_remove_one with de_shutdown() function as suggested by James. --- drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c index d9f6c19940ef..ea7442cc8e75 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c @@ -2175,11 +2175,19 @@ static int __maybe_unused de_resume(struct device *dev_d) static SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS(de_pm_ops, de_suspend, de_resume); +static void de_shutdown(struct pci_dev *pdev) +{ + struct net_device *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev); + + de_close(dev); +} + static struct pci_driver de_driver = { .name = DRV_NAME, .id_table = de_pci_tbl, .probe = de_init_one, .remove = de_remove_one, + .shutdown = de_shutdown, .driver.pm = &de_pm_ops, }; -- 2.28.0
