From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit caff422ea81e144842bc44bab408d85ac449377b upstream. This reverts commit 0f9e980bf5ee1a97e2e401c846b2af989eb21c61. That change cased false-positive warning about hardware hang: e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eth0: Detected Hardware Unit Hang: TDH <0> TDT <1> next_to_use <1> next_to_clean <0> buffer_info[next_to_clean]: time_stamp <fffba7a7> next_to_watch <0> jiffies <fffbb140> next_to_watch.status <0> MAC Status <40080080> PHY Status <7949> PHY 1000BASE-T Status <0> PHY Extended Status <3000> PCI Status <10> e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx Besides warning everything works fine. Original issue will be fixed property in following patch.
