[Bug 1425333] Re: Precise kernel lockup with Intel Corporation 82579LM network interfaces

 

commit e05871885af46af0e8e9e82c612ca3cdd501f5fc
Author: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Mar 20 03:47:47 2012 +0000

    e1000e: 82579 packet drop workaround
    
    In K1 mode (a MAC/PHY interconnect power mode), the 82579 device shuts down
    the Phase Lock Loop (PLL) of the interconnect to save power.  When the PLL
    starts working, the 82579 device may start to transfer the packet through
    the interconnect before it is fully functional causing packet drops.  This
    workaround disables shutting down the PLL in K1 mode for 1G link speed.
