When the PF receives a mailbox message from the VF, it grabs the mailbox lock, reads the VF message from the mailbox, ACKs the message and drops the lock. While the PF is performing the action for the VF message, nothing prevents another VF message from being posted to the mailbox. The current code handles this condition by just dropping any new VF messages without processing them. This results in a mailbox timeout in the VM for posted messages waiting for an ACK, and the VF is reset by the igbvf_watchdog_task in the VM. Given the right sequence of VF messages and mailbox timeouts, this condition can go on ad infinitum. Modify the PF mailbox read method to take an 'unlock' argument that optionally leaves the mailbox locked by the PF after reading the VF message. This ensures another VF message is not posted to the mailbox until after the PF has completed processing the VF message and written its reply.

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.
