Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] qede: prevent chip hang when increasing channels
Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 00:35:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462422916-25584-1-git-send-email-sudarsana.kalluru@qlogic.com> (raw)
qede requires qed to provide enough resources to accommodate 16 combined
channels, but that upper-bound isn't actually being enforced by it.
Instead, qed inform back to qede how many channels can be opened based on
available resources - but that calculation doesn't really take into account
the resources requested by qede; Instead it considers other FW/HW available
resources.
As a result, if a user would increase the number of channels to more than
16 [e.g., using ethtool] the chip would hang.
This change increments the resources requested by qede to 64 combined
channels instead of 16; This value is an upper bound on the possible
available channels [due to other FW/HW resources].
