If ptp_clock_register() fails or CONFIG_PTP isn't enabled, avoid starting PTP related workqueues. In this way we can fix this: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000440b6f8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 1001e0067 PMD 107dc5067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [...] Workqueue: events igb_ptp_overflow_check RIP: 0010:igb_rd32+0x1f/0x60 [...] Call Trace: igb_ptp_read_82580+0x20/0x50 timecounter_read+0x15/0x60 igb_ptp_overflow_check+0x1a/0x50 process_one_work+0x1cb/0x3c0 worker_thread+0x53/0x3f0 ? rescuer_thread+0x370/0x370 kthread+0x142/0x160 ? kthread_associate_blkcg+0xc0/0xc0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 Fixes:1f6e8178d6("igb: Prevent dropped Tx timestamps via work items and interrupts.")

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.
