From c3b7c5c9504348e0c22fa47629c419d82c963bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohamad Haj Yahia Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 00:07:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: start/stop all tx queues upon open/close netdev Start all tx queues (including inactive ones) when opening the netdev. Stop all tx queues (including inactive ones) when closing the netdev. This is a workaround for the tx timeout watchdog false alarm issue in which the netdev watchdog is polling all the tx queues which may include inactive queues and thus once lowering the real tx queues number (ethtool -L) it will generate tx timeout watchdog false alarms.
