From 9ce0e8d72678b5b60c99ce4c7af15ec127c761cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:45:38 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] igb/igbvf: don't give up The driver shouldn't just give up if it fails to get the hardware mailbox lock. This can happen in a situation where the PF-VF communication channel is heavily loaded and causes complete communications failure between the PF and VF drivers. Add a counter and a delay. The driver will now retry ten times, waiting one millisecond between retries.
