> Hi, we still encounter this error in the latest 4.4.0 kernel.

yes, unfortunately, the last patch seems to have helped reduce the
frequency, but i did recently get another report of it happening again.
So it seems to not be completely fixed.

To clarify, as I said before, this is an event generated by the i40e nic
firmware, and is entirely undocumented, and the firmware event provides
no (useful/documented) information about what exactly happened that it
didn't like.  So, there is literally nothing that I, or any non-Intel
person, can do to fix this.  The only possible way this can be fixed is
to let Intel know (which I have done) and hope they can either point me
to another upstream patch that we have not yet backported, or in the
case that it's still not fixed upstream (which is possible), provide a
new upstream patch to fix it.  Or, new firmware, of course.

At this point, please don't add any more comments to this bug, since an
upstream commit was backported and released for this bug (Intel pointed
me to the upstrema commit).

I have opened a new bug to continue this, bug 1772675.  Please add new
comments to that bug.
