Bug ID 20194728
Issue: The ixgbe driver occasionally writes polling error messages to /var/adm/messages. For example:
Dec 23 08:30:49 solaris ; stack = [ mac`mac_fm_error_node_create+116 () | mac`ma c_fm_error_log+d6 () | ixgbe`ixgbe_fm_shared_code_error+114 () | ixgbe`ixgbe_set up_phy_link_generic+215 () | ixgbe`ixgbe_setup_phy_link_speed_generic+64 () | ix gbe`ixgbe_setup_mac_link_X540+21 () | ixgbe`ixgbe_setup_link+2a () | ixgbe`ixgbe _driver_setup_link+b9 () | ixgbe`ixgbe_m_setprop+4aa () | mac`mac_set_prop+20c ( ) | dld`drv_ioc_prop_common+5c1 () | dld`drv_ioc_setprop+2d () | dld`drv_ioctl+1 8f () | genunix`cdev_ioctl+6e () | specfs`spec_ioctl+5d () | genunix`fop_ioctl+d 6 () | genunix`ioctl+188 () ] ; ; driver_error_message = PHY autonegotiation tim e out
Affected software: Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU5
Workaround: These messages are infrequent and benign, and can be safely ignored. To eliminate these error messages, edit the file /kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf and add the following lines. Then reboot the system.
act-correctable-polling-user_ops = 1; act-config-polling-user_ops = 1;
