Public bug reported: [IMPACT]
sosreport networking plugin unconditionally exercise 'ethtool -e. EEPROM dump collection might hang on specific types of devices, ETHTOOL(8) -e --eeprom-dump Retrieves and prints an EEPROM dump for the specified network device. When raw is enabled, then it dumps the raw EEPROM data to stdout. The length and offset parameters allow dumping certain portions of the EEPROM. Default is to dump the entire EEPROM. [TEST PLAN] * On a xenial system ## Should not execute 'ethtool -e' (Default behaviour) * sosreport -o networking ## Should execute 'ethtool -e'. (Only if sosreport is instructed to do so) * sosreport -o networking --plugin-option networking.eepromdump [WHERE PROBLEM OCCURS] No problem expected. networking plugin will be gated to prevent 'ethtool -e' to be run by default, so that sosreport -o networking will not execute 'ethtool -e' command. On the other end, if one really want to eepromdump, one can use the 'eepromdump' plugin option as follows: sosreport -o networking --plugin-option networking.eepromdump So we are changing the default behaviour, but the former one is still available if *REALLY* needed, and knowing the risk that this can occur.
