This series implements some optimizations to error recovery. One patch adds an echo/reply mechanism with firmware to enhance error detection. The other patches speed up the recovery process by polling config space earlier and to selectively initialize context memory during re-initialization.
Edwin Peer (1): bnxt_en: selectively allocate context memories Michael Chan (6): bnxt_en: Update firmware interface spec to 1.10.2.16. bnxt_en: Implement faster recovery for firmware fatal error. bnxt_en: Add context memory initialization infrastructure. bnxt_en: Initialize "context kind" field for context memory blocks. bnxt_en: Reply to firmware's echo request async message. bnxt_en: Improve logging of error recovery settings information. drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c | 222 ++++++++++++++---- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.h | 24 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_hsi.h | 105 ++++++++- 3 files changed, 290 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 2.18.1
