From 7227909340477c1e5225bb2df76cdcc95b5e1da1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:58:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] igbvf: avoid reset storms due to mailbox issues From: Alexander Duyck This change makes it so that reset/interrupt storms can be avoided when there are mailbox issues. The new behavior is to only allow the device to trigger mailbox related resets only once every 10 seconds. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S.
