https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202663 --- Comment #2 from Diego Casati <diego.casati@gmail.com> --- Interesting finding. Unless the issue only manifests on the 82599 chipset, I'd say we could try something a little different on a two fold approach: #1 reword the advisory and #2 update the man page with a caveat section. #1 - Reword of the advisory (patch provided): Because the patch affects the entire ixgbe(4) driver, to be in conformance with what the man page says, I'd suggest the advisory to read: No workaround is available, but systems that do not have Intel(R) 82598EB series 10Gb Ethernet Controllers are not affected. The man page for ixgbe states the following: DESCRIPTION The ixgbe driver provides support for PCI 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82598EB Intel(R) Network Connections. The driver supports Jumbo Frames, MSIX, TSO, and RSS. #2 - Caveat section (patch provided): Since this option is now the default on ixgbe we could add that in a caveat section of the man page for the driver (following examples of others such as ral(4). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
