Aside from #21-26 in this series, and the deadlock fix required on top of #24, there are several more fixes for sfc that I think are suitable for 3.6.11.y. These commits were cherry-picked for 3.4.38 and can also be cherry-picked cleanly on top of 3.6.11.1 plus the 7 patches you already have: d5e8cc6c946e sfc: Really disable flow control while flushing bfeed902946a sfc: Convert firmware subtypes to native byte order in efx_mcdi_get_board_cfg() 9724a8504c87 sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments 0a6e5008a9df sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup 450783747f42 sfc: Avoid generating over-length MC_CMD_FLUSH_RX_QUEUES request 525d9e824018 sfc: Work-around flush timeout when flushes have completed ef492f11efed sfc: Correctly initialise reset_method in siena_test_chip() ebf98e797b4e sfc: Fix timekeeping in efx_mcdi_poll() Please let me know whether you're prepared to include these in the current update. I can then run some automated tests with your selected set of patches applied. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings, Staff Engineer, Solarflare Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
