It seems that under certain scenarios the SPAD can have bogus values caused
by an agent (i.e. BIOS or other software) that is not the kernel driver, and
that causes memory window setup failure. This should not cause the link to
be disabled because if we do that, the driver will never recover again. We
have verified in testing that this issue happens and prevents proper link
recovery.

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.
