Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 13/15] igb: add code to retry a phy read in the event of failure on link check
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:35:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091005163522.32487.5411.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091005163058.32487.10125.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

This patch adds a retry to phy reads in the event of failure.  The original
code broke out of the loop on failure and this is a mistake as we should be
trying to do the read twice.
