mainlining shenanigans
8fbf58e17d
On some older chips, it is necessary to do a reset when we get buffer errors associated with an RX ring. These buffer errors may become frequent if the RX ring underruns under heavy traffic. The current code does a global reset of all reasources when this happens. This works but creates a big disruption of all rings when one RX ring is having problem. This patch implements a localized RX ring reset of just the RX ring having the issue. All other rings including all TX rings will not be affected by this single RX ring reset. Only the older chips prior to the P5 class supports this reset. Because it is not a global reset, packets may still be arriving while we are calling firmware to reset that ring. We need to be sure that we don't post any buffers during this time while the ring is undergoing reset. After firmware completes successfully, the ring will be in the reset state with no buffers and we can start filling it with new buffers and posting them.

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.
