Hi Mauricio,
Re: signed-off-by chain -- I believe if you are (re)sending another
person's patch, you will need a: "From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
<cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" tag at the top of the message body to
retain original authorship and then your own: "Signed-off-by: Mauricio
Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" tag below Thadeu's
since the patch has passed through you.
Re: the patch -- I did some work last year to harden board_disable
against various races, but without having EEH hardware available, I was
uncertain about EEH behavior. For example:
pci_read
EEH -> marks channel offline
pci_read returns ~0
When do the EEH error handler callbacks run?
Thanks,
