Currently ibmvnic does not support the disable vnic command from the
Hardware Management Console. This patch enables ibmvnic to process
CRQ message 0x07, disable vnic adapter.
What user-visible problem does this one solve?
This allows HMC to disconnect a Linux client from the network if the
vNIC adapter is misbehaving and/or sending malicious traffic. The effect
is the same as when a sysadmin sets a link down (ibmvnic_close()) on the
Linux client. This patch extends this ability to the HMC.
Thanks!
