Hi,

this didn't happen before but after 4.16-rc1 my tg3 nic stops for
whatever reason and the connection to the machine is dead. It didn't show
anything in dmesg until today.

The IO pagefaults look like it is trying to access something it
shouldn't and maybe that's why it times out.

It triggers pretty quickly so I'd call it a reliable reproducer and thus
I can test patches... :-)

Thx.

Thanks for reporting this. Somehow, this mail moved to my spam folder.
Hence, delay in response.
Looks like this is similar to below issue and it was reported some time back.
