A previous thread about this can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/12/410 An alternative fix is to assure that IFF_UP gets cleared by calling dev_close() during shutdown. This is similar to what the bnx2/tg3/xgene and maybe others are doing to assure that the driver isn't being called following _shutdown(). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.lin...@arm.com>
Since this issue has been very random and on/off recently, it's quite hard to test this and confirm. However I did around 20 reboot/shutdown and could not reproduce the issue after applying this patch. So, Tested-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.ho...@arm.com> -- Regards, Sudeep
