This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: Lantiq: Keep ethernet enabled during boot to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-lantiq-keep-ethernet-enabled-during-boot.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 774f0c6419bb8f9d83901d33582c7fe3ba6a6cb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 14:20:09 +0100 Subject: MIPS: Lantiq: Keep ethernet enabled during boot From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx> commit 774f0c6419bb8f9d83901d33582c7fe3ba6a6cb3 upstream. Disabling ethernet during reboot (only to enable it again when the ethernet driver attaches) can put the chip into a faulty state where it corrupts the header of all incoming packets. This happens if packets arrive during the time window where the core is disabled, and it can be easily reproduced by rebooting while sending a flood ping to the broadcast address.
