From 7e7eb4346329da3b9fd4b8d4a5a66d327d9fff6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Tantilov Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 03:20:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: remove timer reset to 0 on timeout The VF mailbox polling for acks and messages would reset the timer to zero on a timeout. Under heavy load a timeout may actually occur without being the result of an error and when this occurs it is not practical to perform a full VF driver reset on every message timeout. Instead, just return an error (which is already done) and the VF driver will have an opportunity to retry the operation.
