[ Upstream commit 0f9e980bf5ee1a97e2e401c846b2af989eb21c61 ] I'm seeing series of e1000e resets (sometimes endless) at system boot if something generates tx traffic at this time. In my case this is netconsole who sends message "e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Some CPU C-states have been disabled in order to enable jumbo frames" from e1000e itself. As result e1000_watchdog_task sees used tx buffer while carrier is off and start this reset cycle again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
