bnx2x driver causes 100% CPU load

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1832082

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Thanks Przemyslaw, good explanation on bug's description! I'm dealing with this one, will update status here with news.

Cheers,

Guilherme

SRU submitted to kernel mailing-list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2019-July/101925.html

I've marked Xenial->Disco as "In Progress", because we need acceptance from kernel team.
On the other hand, Devel series (Eoan/Ff) will get the fix via regular rebase with
Linus tree, hence I've put "Fix Committed".

Thanks,

Guilherme

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-done-disco'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-failed-disco'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I've validated the -proposed kernels for Xenial (4.4.0-158), Bionic (4.15.0-56) and Disco (5.0.0-22), using the test case mentioned in the description. All working fine, the issue is gone.
Also, the patch was released upstream in the 5.3.x series, so I'll mark ff-series as Released.
