From fb383223d00ffa445b266c5fd54ed80fd8c57d17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Keller Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2017 07:17:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fm10k: ensure we process SM mbx when processing VF mbx [ Upstream commit 17a91809942ca32c70026d2d5ba3348a2c4fdf8f ] When we process VF mailboxes, the driver is likely going to also queue up messages to the switch manager. This process merely queues up the FIFO, but doesn't actually begin the transmission process. Because we hold the mailbox lock during this VF processing, the PF<->SM mailbox is not getting processed at this time. Ensure that we actually process the PF<->SM mailbox in between each PF<->VF mailbox. This should ensure prompt transmission of the messages queued up after each VF message is received and handled.
