From d78a1f08458f8118cf42154e55a3006cc17502bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuval Mintz Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2016 21:21:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: don't wait for Tx completion on recovery When driver has hit a parity event, HW can no longer write to host memory. As a result, Tx completions cannot be written to the host SB memory, and waiting for Tx completions eventually timeout. As driver is willing to delay as much as 1-2 seconds per Tx queue for its draining and this delay is sequential, the time to recover might greatly lengthen needlessly in case the recovery is done under multi-connection traffic.
