We need to notify peers only when failover and migration happen.
It is unnecessary to call that in other events like
FATAL, NON_FATAL, CHANGE_PARAM, and TIMEOUT resets
since in those scenarios the MAC address and ip address mapping
does not change. Originally all the resets except CHANGE_PARAM
are processed by do_reset such that we need to find out
failover and migration cases in do_reset and call notifier functions.
We only need to notify peers in do_reset and do_hard_reset.
We don't need notify peers in do_change_param_reset since it is
a CHANGE_PARAM reset. In a nested reset case, it will finally
call into do_hard_reset with reasons other than failvoer and
migration. So, we don't need to check the reset reason in
do_hard_reset and just call notifier functions anyway.
netdev_notify_peers calls below two functions with rtnl lock().
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS, dev);
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev);
When netdev_notify_peers was substituted in
commit 986103e7920c ("net/ibmvnic: Fix RTNL deadlock during device reset"),
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev) was missed.
Fixes: 61d3e1d9bc2a ("ibmvnic: Remove netdev notify for failover resets")
Fixes: 986103e7920c ("net/ibmvnic: Fix RTNL deadlock during device
reset")
