Hi Jason,
Your analysis is correct. 
The issue was initially reported by Valdis Kletnieks (valdis.kletni...@vt.edu)
http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/intel-wired-lan/Week-of-Mon-20150615/000992.html

Commit 37b12910dd11d9ab969f2c310dc9160b7f3e3405 fixes the lockup issue, and 
according to my last check it is in 4.3-rc5. 

Thanks,
Raanan

Subject: e1000e: hard system lockup on Linux 4.2

Hi Jeffrey & Raanan & Yanirx,

I have a Thinkpad W530 with a 82579LM inside of it, which uses the e1000e 
driver. Every few hours, my system does a hard lockup, and I am unable to do 
anything at all with it except power it off. There isn't a panic or oops, as 
nothing is written to /sys/fs/pstore after. But, I did enable the lockup 
detection debug option, and was able to gain a few stack traces. And all of the 
time, the culprit is the e1000e driver.

The funny thing is that I'm not actually using the Ethernet card -- nothing is 
plugged into the jack, as I'm mostly on wifi these days.
Nevertheless, it receives power from my laptop and thus the driver is partaking 
in some form of communication with it.

The stack traces follow below. You'll notice that some time after the initial 
e1000e lockup, the there's a soft lockup in the bpf paths. I believe this is 
due to the fact that at the time of the hard lockup in e1000e, I was trying to 
open a new Chrome tab process, which makes use of seccomp-bpf. I do not believe 
the bug is in the bpf code, however.

Briefly looking at the stack trace myself shows quite a bit of activity in 
`e1000e_cyclecounter_read`. Running `git log drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e` 
indicates a recent change from Raanan -- 
37b12910dd11d9ab969f2c310dc9160b7f3e3405 -- "e1000e: Fix tight loop 
implementation of systime read algorithm". In this change, a loop is entirely 
removed.

Investigating the origin of that loop reveals this commit from Yanirx
-- 83129b37ef35bb6a7f01c060129736a8db5d31c4. This commit appears to be present 
in 4.2, but not in 4.1. This leads me to think it may be the cause of the bug, 
with the aforementioned
37b12910dd11d9ab969f2c310dc9160b7f3e3405 being the fix for it.

I would therefore recommend that -- if this analysis is correct --
37b12910dd11d9ab969f2c310dc9160b7f3e3405 be backported to the 4.2 stable 
releases (thus, CCing Greg).

If my very brief and preliminary investigation is not correct, please let me 
know if there is any additional information or debugging steps I can apply, so 
that we can fix this regression.

In the meantime while I wait to hear back, I'll try backporting that commit to 
4.2 myself, and seeing the stability of my laptop over the next 24 hours.

Thanks,
Jason
