The ibmvnic driver has multiple handlers for resetting the driver depending on the reason the reset is needed (failover, lpm, fatal erors,...). All of the reset handlers do essentially the same thing, this patch moves this work to a common reset handler. By doing this we also allow the driver to better handle situations where we can get a reset while handling a reset. The updated reset handling works by adding a reset work item to the list of resets and then scheduling work to perform the reset. This step is necessary because we can receive a reset in interrupt context and we want to handle the reset out of interrupt context.

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.
