Dear ice driver developers,
A customer running Proxmox VE (kernel version 6.17.4-2-pve) has this
card in their servers:
11:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet
Controller E810-C for QSFP [8086:1592] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Network Adapter E810-C-Q2
for OCP3.0 [8086:0006]
Kernel driver in use: ice
Kernel modules: ice
11:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet
Controller E810-C for QSFP [8086:1592] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Network Adapter E810-C-Q2
for OCP3.0 [8086:0006]
Kernel driver in use: ice
Kernel modules: ice
Here is what ethtool reports:
# ethtool -i nic1
driver: ice
version: 6.17.4-2-pve
firmware-version: 4.30 0x8001bcf7 1.3429.0
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:11:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: yes
They recently hit this kernel oops and a subsequent panic. Is this
oops/panic something known or addressed in later kernels? Is there
anything I should tell Proxmox developers to backport to their kernel?
Or is the ice driver only a victim here?
