This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ibmvnic: Allocate number of rx/tx buffers agreed on by firmware to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ibmvnic-allocate-number-of-rx-tx-buffers-agreed-on-by-firmware.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Dec 12 13:26:17 CET 2017 From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 12:18:42 -0600 Subject: ibmvnic: Allocate number of rx/tx buffers agreed on by firmware From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 068d9f90a6978c3e3a662d9e85204a7d6be240d2 ] The amount of TX/RX buffers that the vNIC driver currently allocates is different from the amount agreed upon in negotiation with firmware. Correct that by allocating the requested number of buffers confirmed by firmware. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
