Description Pei Zhang 2019-08-21 03:17:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
Setup rt in host which has i40e NIC drivers, rt host will crash.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.18.0-136.rt24.81.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
4/4

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a rhel8 host. In my testing server, I have 2 XL710 NICs(i40e driver).

2. Install kernel-rt on rhel8 host

3. Reboot host twice, host kernel-rt will crash at the 2nd reboot. 

Actual results:
RT host crash.

Expected results:
RT host should not crash.

Additional info:
1. This might be caused by i40e NIC driver. Testing on another server without i40e NIC driver, the rt host works well.

2. This is a regression bug:
kernel-rt-4.18.0-134.rt24.79.el8.x86_64   works well
kernel-rt-4.18.0-136.rt24.81.el8.x86_64   crash
Comment 2 Pei Zhang 2019-08-21 06:40:24 UTC 
It's only kernel-rt issue. 4.18.0-136.el8.x86_64 works well.
Comment 13 Pei Zhang 2019-08-26 07:42:47 UTC 
Verified with 4.18.0-137.rt24.83.el8.x86_64:

RT host works very well after several reboots, no any error any more.

So this bug has been fixed very well. Move to 'VERIFIED'.
