Hi Taehee,
Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately efx_realloc_channels()
has turned out to be quite fragile over the years, so I'm
keen to remove it in stead of patching it up all the time.
Could you try the patch below please?
If it works ok for you as well we'll be able to remove
efx_realloc_channels(). The added advantage of this approach
is that the netdev notifiers get informed of the change.
Regards,
Martin Habets <habetsm.xilinx@xxxxxxxxx>
