Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/3] bnx2x: Link flap avoidance added
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:56:18 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1347540981-16198-1-git-send-email-yuvalmin@broadcom.com> (raw)

Hi Dave,

In various flows in the bnx2x driver, the link is toggled unnecessarily -
In such flows, if the link is already up it would be pulled down than
raised up again, even if no change in the link was requested by the
user.

This patch series tries to eliminate this problem, or at least to greatly
reduce the number of cases that would actually cause such a scenario to
happen.

Please consider applying this patch series to 'net-next'.

Thanks,
Yuval
