so I wouldn't be opposed to backport this for our next kernel
update.
That would be great. I volunteer for testing ;-)

Thanks

That'd be perfect! Backported, packaged and available on pvetest
repository as:

pve-kernel-4.15.17-3-pve which should get pulled in by the
pve-kernel-4.15 meta package. Also directly downloadable at:
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/stretch/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-kernel-4.15.17-3-pve_4.15.17-12_amd64.deb

cheers,
Thomas

Frankly it solved the issue on one port of the quadport NIC, but not on
the other.

Anyway, thanks for the work.

Hmm, weird stuff. As nothing else is open for this driver as
of today I'd suggest reporting this upstream, as it's reproducible.

I'd write to ***@vger.kernel.org and CC the patch author
(maybe he got an idea) Rob Taglang (see the patch for a mail)
eventually me and the get_maintainer script outputs:

# scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/sun/
"David S. Miller" <***@davemloft.net> (odd fixer:NETWORKING DRIVERS,commit_signer:15/17=88%)
Shannon Nelson <***@oracle.com> (commit_signer:5/17=29%,authored:3/17=18%)
Allen Pais <***@gmail.com> (commit_signer:3/17=18%,authored:3/17=18%)
Zhu Yanjun <***@oracle.com> (commit_signer:1/17=6%)
Ingo Molnar <***@kernel.org> (commit_signer:1/17=6%)
Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-***@ilande.co.uk> (authored:1/17=6%)
Rob Herring <***@kernel.org> (authored:1/17=6%)
Tobias Klauser <***@distanz.ch> (authored:1/17=6%)
***@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
linux-***@vger.kernel.org (open list)

Makes normally sense to add them to CC too, maybe even the OVS list
for good measure.

This can be a bit of work for you, but if this is a real Kernel
problem the report and chance to reproduce it, you'd not only
help yourself but the whole Linux community :)

cheers,
Thomas
