Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] bnx2x: prevent FW assert on low mem during unload
Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2013 13:07:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382872021-1116-2-git-send-email-yuvalmin@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1382872021-1116-1-git-send-email-yuvalmin@broadcom.com>
From: Dmitry Kravkov <dmitry@broadcom.com>
Buffers for FW statistics were allocated at an inappropriate time; In a machine
where the driver encounters problems allocating all of its queues, the driver
would still create FW requests for the statistics of the non-existing queues.
The wrong order of memory allocation could lead to zeroed statistics messages
being sent, leading to fw assert in case function 0 was down.
This changes the order of allocations, guaranteeing that statistic requests will
only be generated for actual queues.
