[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] ixgbevf: cleanup redundant mailbox read failure check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit c7bb417dbb8888cfd20824d54f9af9c92b9ff43d upstream.

Since we are already checking for read failure in check_link we don't need
to do it here. Instead just make sure the watchdog task gets scheduled, if
we are up, and it can be done there. This will better follow igbvf method
of handling a mailbox event and message timeout.
