Sudheer Mogilappagari 07d44190a3 i40e/i40evf: Detect and recover hung queue scenario
In VFs, there is a known issue which can cause writebacks
to not occur when interrupts are disabled and there are
less than 4 descriptors resulting in TX timeout. Timeout
can also occur due to lost interrupt.

The current implementation for detecting and recovering
from hung queues in the PF is problematic because it actually
actively encourages lost interrupts.  By triggering a SW
interrupt, interrupts are forced on.  If we are already in
napi_poll and an interrupt fires, napi_poll will not be
rescheduled and the interrupt is effectively lost; thereby
potentially *causing* hung queues.

This patch checks whether packets are being processed between
every watchdog cycle and determine potential hung queue and
fires triggers SW interrupt only for that particular queue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
