Comment 23 for bug 1723127

> Hi, we still encounter this error in the latest 4.4.0 kernel.

yes, unfortunately, the last patch seems to have helped reduce the frequency, but i did recently get another report of it happening again. So it seems to not be completely fixed.

To clarify, as I said before, this is an event generated by the i40e nic firmware, and is entirely undocumented, and the firmware event provides no (useful/documented) information about what exactly happened that it didn't like. So, there is literally nothing that I, or any non-Intel person, can do to fix this. The only possible way this can be fixed is to let Intel know (which I have done) and hope they can either point me to another upstream patch that we have not yet backported, or in the case that it's still not fixed upstream (which is possible), provide a new upstream patch to fix it. Or, new firmware, of course.

At this point, please don't add any more comments to this bug, since an upstream commit was backported and released for this bug (Intel pointed me to the upstrema commit).

I have opened a new bug to continue this, bug 1772675. Please add new comments to that bug.
