Device firmware can assert if the device shutdown path in driver encounters an async. events from mfw (processed in qed_mcp_handle_events()) after qed_mcp_unload_req() returns. A call to qed_mcp_unload_req() currently marks the device as inactive and thus stops any new events, but there is a windows where in-flight events might still be received by the driver. To prevent this race condition, atomically set QED_MCP_BYPASS_PROC_BIT in qed_mcp_unload_req() to make sure qed_mcp_handle_events() ignores all events. Wait for any event that might already be in-process to complete by monitoring QED_MCP_IN_PROCESSING_BIT.

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.
