From 08259594e047170923ef11d1482648642bfe606f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Rose Date: Wed, 5 May 2010 19:57:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbevf: Cache PF ack bit in interrupt When the PF acks a message from the VF the VF gets an interrupt. It must cache the ack bit so that polling SW will not miss the ack. Also avoid reading the message buffer on acks because that also will clear the ack bit.
