> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v3] ice: reset first in crash dump 
> kernels
>
> When the system boots into the crash dump kernel after a panic, the ice
> networking device may still have pending transactions that can cause errors
> or machine checks when the device is re-enabled. This can prevent the crash
> dump kernel from loading the driver or collecting the crash data.
>
> To avoid this issue, perform a function level reset (FLR) on the ice device
> via PCIe config space before enabling it on the crash kernel. This will
> clear any outstanding transactions and stop all queues and interrupts.
> Restore the config space after the FLR, otherwise it was found in testing
> that the driver wouldn't load successfully.
>
> The following sequence causes the original issue:
> - Load the ice driver with modprobe ice
> - Enable SR-IOV with 2 VFs: echo 2 > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/sriov_num_vfs
> - Trigger a crash with echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
> - Load the ice driver again (or let it load automatically) with modprobe ice
> - The system crashes again during pcim_enable_device()
>
> Fixes: 837f08fdecbe ("ice: Add basic driver framework for Intel(R) E800 
> Series")
