Thank you. I am still having the problem during our cloning process, although it's not so frequent. Before the patch I applied, each and every transfer would ALWAYS kick the tg3 bug.
Here it seems related to problems with NAPI. AFAIK, this is an approach to handle interrupt bursts. NIC's work typically in bursts: a long time without packets, then a very large stream of packets, then silence. This is the common scenario. Having interrupts to serve sporadic data is ok. But a burst of packets trigger a burst of interrupts, which is not as efficient as just polling the NIC (during the burst). What NAPI does is (in a very very simplified way): it expects the first interrupt from the network, then switches off interrupts, poll the NIC (up to a limit) until there are no more network packets, or the "work quota" is exhausted, what happens first. Then it turns on interrupts and the cycle repeats. This quota (sorry, don't remember the correct term) is very important to prevent the kernel from being stuck just serving packets. What's happening is (my understanding) that something went wrong during this process and the tg3 driver gets stuck. A colleague told me that it's related to the broadcom driver. Please try this workaround. Remove the two drivers, then reload "broadcom" and "tg3" in this order. Maybe then your network will restart. sudo modprobe -r broadcom tg3 sudo modprobe broadcom sudo modprobe tg3 Please tell us what happens when you try this. It won't solve the problem, but perhaps it helps. Regards, Paulo On Sat, Jan 26, 2019, 10:39 Bob Lawrence <1447...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: > Confirmed that this is still an issue on 18.04.1.
