From b8c80b8413eec7ae154cdad692a7fd1cb32d0370 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Falcon Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 10:30:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: Halt TX and report carrier off on H_CLOSED return code This patch disables transmissions and reports carrier off if xmit function returns that the hardware TX queue is closed. The driver can then await a signal from firmware to determine the correct reset method. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: David S.
