Public bug reported: [Impact] If an admin uses ethtool to change the link speed or duplex setting while the hardware is still processing packets, a hardware hang may result.
[Test Case] While traffic is in-progress, use ethtool to change link speed/duplex. [Fix] Fixes have been applied upstream: 455c4401fe7a5 net: hns: add netif_carrier_off before change speed and duplex 31fabbee8f5c6 net: hns: add the code for cleaning pkt in chip [Regression Risk] The only Ubuntu-supported system that uses this driver is the HiSilicon D05 board, on which the fix was explicitly tested. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792209 Title: net: hns: Avoid hang when link is changed while handling packets Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Impact] If an admin uses ethtool to change the link speed or duplex setting while the hardware is still processing packets, a hardware hang may result.
