If an HSB lockup occurs on i10600 and i10800 platforms, then HSB panics and generates a core file for post-analysis. HSB also triggers a nic_failsafe reboot. On this platform, the reboot occurs before the core file is fully written, resulting in a truncated core.
The reboot happens before the core dump completes, resulting in an incomplete core dump which is not useful for analyzing why the HSB lockup occurred. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
An HSB lockup occurs, triggering a core dump and a nic_failsafe reboot.
No workaround; does not hinder device operation, but does prevent post-crash analysis.
Reboot is delayed until TMM core file is completed.
