Subject: [PATCH net-next] bnx2x: don't wait for Tx completion on recovery
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2016 21:21:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457896908-13476-1-git-send-email-Yuval.Mintz@qlogic.com> (raw)

When driver has hit a parity event, HW can no longer write to host memory.
As a result, Tx completions cannot be written to the host SB memory, and
waiting for Tx completions eventually timeout.
As driver is willing to delay as much as 1-2 seconds per Tx queue for its
draining and this delay is sequential, the time to recover might greatly 
lengthen needlessly in case the recovery is done under multi-connection
traffic.

Hi Dave,

Wasn't sure whether to prepare this for net/net-next; But as it wasn't
a bug-fix by definition, I took the safer approach.

Please consider applying this to `net-next'.

Thanks,
Yuval
