Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-04-14
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Mitch provides a fix for i40e, where VFs were gone and the associated
VSI's had been removed and the rings were not stopped, which in some
circumstances cased memory corruption or DMAR errors. So stop all the
rings associated with each VF before releasing its resources. Also
cleaned up a poorly indented piece of code. Fixes VF link state, where
VF devices were assuming link is up unless told otherwise, which means
that VFs instantiated on a PF with no link, would report the wrong state.
Anjali adds support to add Flow director Sideband rules for a VF from it's
PF. Fixes a recently discovered hardware issue, where after a VFLR
hardware might be indicating to us a reset completion little too early, so
wait another 10 msec for cache to be cleaned up.
Jesse enables the user to dump the internal hardware state for better
debugging by allowing a bash script to acquire information about the
internal hardware state. The data output to the kernel log is collected
by the script and can then be sent to Intel. Also fixed a possible
failure path to allocate memory that was found by smatch. Cleaned up
unused local variables.
