I have soft lockup problem with attansic ethernet card while activating eth0 interface.

My ethernet card is 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)

If I try to activate eth0 interface while network cable is pluged in, then everything freezes.

If I try to activate eth0 interface while network cable isn't pluged in, then no problem. But, if i plug in, again freezes.

My /var/log/syslog is in attachment.

From the dmesg output it appears that this card is driven by the atl1c

driver:

Oct  7 00:55:57 baDibere kernel: [  169.943463] atl1c 0000:09:00.0: Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error: -22

The "Unable to allocate MSI interrupt" might be the immediate problem.

Who belongs to MSI interrupt allocation? PCI? ACPI?

However the driver does attempt to handle and recover from the MSI interrupt allocation error so perhaps that's no the cause at all.

Yesterday, there wasn't any problem but 3 days ago there was same problem.

While there wasn't any problem, if I'm not wrong, both atl1c and atl1e modules were loaded on boot. But, If I try to load atl1e now, nothing changes.

The pci_id says your chip is an L1c. Jie Yang is the maintainer of the atl1c driver and is cc'd.

I'd be curious to know if the lockup occurs when booted with pci=nomsi.
