This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: ip27: Disable qlge driver in defconfig 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-ip27-disable-qlge-driver-in-defconfig.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 b617649468390713db1515ea79fc772d2eb897a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 17:43:50 +0100 Subject: MIPS: ip27: Disable qlge driver in defconfig From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit b617649468390713db1515ea79fc772d2eb897a8 upstream. One of the last remaining failures in kernelci.org is for a gcc bug: drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_main.c:4819:1: error: insn does not satisfy its constraints: drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_main.c:4819:1: internal compiler error: in extract_constrain_insn, at recog.c:2190 This is apparently broken in gcc-6 but fixed in gcc-7, and I cannot reproduce the problem here. However, it is clear that ip27_defconfig does not actually need this driver as the platform has only PCI-X but not PCIe, and the qlge adapter in turn is PCIe-only. The driver was originally enabled in 2010 along with lots of other drivers. Fixes: 59d302b342e5 ("MIPS: IP27: Make defconfig useful again.")
