Hi,
I run Fedora 32 and since kernels in the 5.10 series I have been unable
to boot without getting a panic in the sfc module. I tried on 5.11.12
tonight and the crash still occurs. I have tried reporting this via
Fedora channels but the silence has been deafening and I suspect this is
an upstream issue anyway.
I'm running an Asus X570-Pro with a 3700x processor, 64GB ECC RAM and
various nvme/SATA disks. I have a dual port Solarflare SFN6122F PCIE
card installed that shows up in lspci as:
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Solarflare Communications SFC9020
10G Ethernet Controller [1924:0803]
0b:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Solarflare Communications SFC9020
10G Ethernet Controller [1924:0803]
I have attached jpegs of the crash on the Fedora bugzilla entry
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1924982 but since I figure
many here won't want to download a 2.5MB attachment from a slow bugzilla
I'll try to transcribe the relevant bits here:

I won't guarantee there are no typos in that lot since the picture is a
bit fuzzy and so are my eyes after all that. You can find the original
on the referenced bz above.
No problems on 5.9.16 which is the last pre-5.10 kernel available for
F32. Everything I've tried since 5.10 goes pop.
In case it helps, this is what sfcboot reports for one of the cards (the
other is the same)
enp11s0f0np0:
Boot image Option ROM only
Link speed Negotiated automatically
Link-up delay time 5 seconds
Banner delay time 2 seconds
Boot skip delay time 5 seconds
Boot type Disabled
PF MSI-X interrupt limit 512
SR-IOV Disabled
Virtual Functions on each PF 127
VF MSI-X interrupt limit 1
and sfupdate:
enp11s0f0np0 - MAC: 00-0x-xx-0x-xx-xx (intentionally obscured)
Firmware version: v7.6.9
Controller type: Solarflare SFC9000 family
Controller version: v3.3.2.1000
Boot ROM version: v5.2.2.1004
Just prior to the crash I get a pair of messages that don't look
particularly right but I get these on 5.9.16 too and that survives.
[ 9.027961] sfc 0000:0b:00.0 enp11s0f0np0: MC command 0x2a inlen 16

I'm not subscribed to the list so I'd be grateful for a cc on any
replies or if I'm on entirely the wrong mailing list, feel free to let
me know that too! I can supply any more information that would be useful
to get this fixed.
Thanks,
Trevor
