> There is not a general theme to this patch set other than that it > fixes a few issues with the ibmvnic driver. I will just give a quick > summary of what each patch does here. > > "ibmvnic: Fix TX descriptor tracking again" resolves a race condition > introduced in an earlier fix to track outstanding transmit descriptors. > This condition can throw off the tracking counter to the point that > a transmit queue will halt forever. > > "ibmvnic: Allocate statistics buffers during probe" allocates queue > statistics buffers on device probe to avoid a crash when accessing > statistics of an unopened interface. > > "ibmvnic: Harden TX/RX pool cleaning" includes additional checks to > avoid a bad access when cleaning RX and TX buffer pools during a device > reset. > > "ibmvnic: Report queue stops and restarts as debug output" changes TX > queue state notifications from informational to debug messages. This > information is not necessarily useful to a user and under load can result > in a lot of log output. > > "ibmvnic: Do not attempt to login if RX or TX queues are not allocated" > checks that device queues have been allocated successfully before > attempting device login. This resolves a panic that could occur if a > user attempted to configure a device after a failed reset. > > Thanks for your attention. Series applied, thanks Thomas.
