I don't recalling seeing this myself, but still this is the second
such igb failure report I have received recently.
I wonder whether the incorrect double TSICR acknowledge is the root
cause. In igb_main.c we have:
static void igb_tsync_interrupt(struct igb_adapter *adapter)
{
struct e1000_hw *hw = &adapter->hw;
struct ptp_clock_event event;
struct timespec64 ts;
u32 ack = 0, tsauxc, sec, nsec, tsicr = rd32(E1000_TSICR);
...
/* acknowledge the interrupts */
wr32(E1000_TSICR, ack);
}
According to the datasheet, the first rd32() should already
acknowledge the interrupts, but the 82580 (iirc) has a bug that
requires the additional wr32().
Try removing that last line, and see if things improve...
Thanks,
Richard
