mainlining shenanigans
6533e558c6
Fix the crash in kernel while dereferencing the NULL pointer,
when the driver is unloaded and simultaneously the VSI rings
are being stopped.
The hardware requires 50msec in order to finish RX queues
disable. For this purpose the driver spins in mdelay function
for the operation to be completed.
For example changing number of queues which requires reset would
fail in the following call stack:
1) i40e_prep_for_reset
2) i40e_pf_quiesce_all_vsi
3) i40e_quiesce_vsi
4) i40e_vsi_close
5) i40e_down
6) i40e_vsi_stop_rings
7) i40e_vsi_control_rx -> disable requires the delay of 50msecs
8) continue back in i40e_down function where
i40e_clean_tx_ring(vsi->tx_rings[i]) is going to crash
When the driver was spinning vsi_release called
i40e_vsi_free_arrays where the vsi->tx_rings resources
were freed and the pointer was set to NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
