A PF syncronizes all IOV activity relating to its VFs by using a single workqueue handling the work. The workqueue would reach a bitmask of pending VF events and act upon each in turn. Problem is that the indication of a VF message [which sets the 'vf event' bit for that VF] arrives and is set in the slowpath attention context, which isn't syncronized with the processing of the events. When multiple VFs are present, it's possible that PF would lose the indication of one of the VF's pending evens, leading that VF to later timeout. Instead of adding locks/barriers, simply move from a bitmask into a per-VF indication inside that VF entry in the PF database.

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.
