Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 2/5] e1000e: increase swflag acquisition timeout for ICHx/PCH
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:23:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091026212306.9682.73519.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091026212242.9682.25442.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@intel.com>

In some conditions (e.g. when AMT is enabled on the system), it is possible
to take an extended period of time to for the driver to acquire the sw/fw/hw
hardware semaphore used to protect against concurrent access of a shared
resource (e.g. PHY registers).  This could cause PHY registers to not get
configured properly resulting in link issues.
