[ Upstream commit 484c016d9392786ce5c74017c206c706f29f823d ] Driver performs the internal reload when it receives tx-timeout event from the OS. Internal reload might fail in some scenarios e.g., fatal HW issues. In such cases OS still see the link, which would result in undesirable functionalities such as re-generation of tx-timeouts. The patch addresses this issue by indicating the link-down to OS when tx-timeout is detected, and keeping the link in down state till the internal reload is successful. Please consider applying it to 'net' branch. Signed-off-by: Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru <Sudarsana.Kalluru@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <ariel.elior@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
