Public bug reported:
-- Problem Description --
We observed that when EEH error is hit during tg3 driver probe, we might
trigger a kernel oops due to a memory access to an uninitialized pointer.
The following upstream patch addresses the issue: 1b0ff89852 ("tg3: Avoid NULL
pointer dereference in tg3_io_error_detected()")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1b0ff89852d79354e8a091c81a88df21f5aa9f0a
We want to request Canonical to add this patch to Ubuntu 16.04 kernel if
possible.
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
