[Intel-wired-lan] ice: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17) @ 5.18.x

[Jaroslav Pulchart]

Hello,

I'm struggling with broken network connectivity at VMs using linux
bridge at host after update of kernel from 5.17.x to 5.18.x @ Dell
R750 server with E810-XXV NICs.

I noticed the kernel reports "Error setting promisc mode" in dmesg.

# dmesg  | grep 'Error setting promisc'
[   24.863557] ice 0000:31:00.0: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)
[   24.878369] ice 0000:31:00.0: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)
[   25.045834] ice 0000:31:00.0: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)
[   25.129840] ice 0000:b1:00.0: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)
[   25.144440] ice 0000:b1:00.0: Error setting promisc mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)

# lspci -s 0000:31:00.0
31:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller
E810-XXV for SFP (rev 02)
# lspci -s 0000:b1:00.0
b1:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller
E810-XXV for SFP (rev 02)

It is easy to reproduce by:
  # ip link set em1 promisc on
  # dmesg -T | tail -n 1

mode on VSI 6 (rc=-17)

Could it be an 'ice' driver bug introduced in the 5.18 kernel?

Best,
