Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== eth: bnxt: handle invalid Tx completions more gracefully bnxt trusts the events generated by the device which may lead to kernel crashes. These are extremely rare but they do happen. For a while I thought crashing may be intentional, because device reporting invalid completions should never happen, and having a core dump could be useful if it does. But in practice I haven't found any clues in the core dumps, and panic_on_warn exists. Series was tested by forcing the recovery path manually. Because of how rare the real crashes are I can't confirm it works for the actual device errors until it's been widely deployed. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230710205611.1198878-1-kuba@kernel.org/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230720010440.1967136-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
