We have multiple systems (and system types) experiencing a kernel
panic, when they upgrade to Debian 8. We tried the native Debian IGB
driver, as well as, IGB 5.3.5.3, with no difference in behavior. The
common element is that they are attached to our Portwell CAR-3000,
running Linux 2.6.26 and e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver -
1.0.2.5-NAPI.
The CAR-3000 board from Portwell has one Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
running at 3.00 GHz, 4GB of memory, and an Intel 82574L controller.
The setup is pretty simple, two nodes ( CAR-3000 and the DUT), with
one cable between them, running iperf. The DUT connection is through
ports attached to an I354. The PANICs have not been been observed, when
using a DUT's I210 ports.
During the test, the CAR-3000 floods pause frames back to the DUT.
The CAR-3000 sees frequent unit hangs and, itself, may PANIC.
These issues are not seen, if autoneg is disabled on the CAR-3000 port

Coincidental with the above Unit Hangs on the CAR-3000, the DUT may
PANIC
In this instance, The PANIC is occurred on a Lannar 7573 (connection
through an I354), however it has been seen on other platforms from
different vendors.
