Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Convert return 0 to return rc
Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 23:51:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400223103.30884.5.camel@joe-AO725> (raw)
These "return 0;" uses seem wrong as there are
rc variables where error return values are set
but unused.

Hey Ariel/Dmitry
I've no idea what's right here, but the current
code seems wrong. (or at least under-commented)
It seems Dmitry changed these, perhaps to make
it more readable, but the commit log isn't very
instructive.

bnx2x: Prevent VF race
The mail box containing the Vf-Pf messages is susceptible
to a race - it's possible for 2 flows to try and write commands,
causing one to override the other's message.
Use a mutex to synchronize the access, preventing said race.
