Sukadev Bhattiprolu db9f0e8bf7 ibmvnic: Allow extra failures before disabling ... If auto-priority-failover (APF) is enabled and there are at least two backing devices of different priorities, some resets like fail-over, change-param etc can cause at least two back to back failovers. (Failover from high priority backing device to lower priority one and then back to the higher priority one if that is still functional). Depending on the timimg of the two failovers it is possible to trigger a "hard" reset and for the hard reset to fail due to failovers. When this occurs, the driver assumes that the network is unstable and disables the VNIC for a 60-second "settling time". This in turn can cause the ethtool command to fail with "No such device" while the vnic automatically recovers a little while later. Given that it's possible to have two back to back failures, allow for extra failures before disabling the vnic for the settling time.
