From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.ibm.com> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.80 commit 5b3f7204197af04b8dc8adea786052e1fa97b1e8 bugzilla: 185821 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4L7CG Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 8878e46fcfd46b19964bd90e13b25dd94cbfc9be ] If adapter's resetting bit is on, discard the packet but don't stop the transmit queue - instead leave that to the reset code. With this change, it is possible that we may get several calls to ibmvnic_xmit() that simply discard packets and return. But if we stop the queue here, we might end up doing so just after __ibmvnic_open() started the queues (during a hard/soft reset) and before the ->resetting bit was cleared. If that happens, there will be no one to restart queue and transmissions will be blocked indefinitely. This can cause a TIMEOUT reset and with auto priority failover enabled, an unnecessary FAILOVER reset to less favored backing device and then a FAILOVER back to the most favored backing device. If we hit the window repeatedly, we can get stuck in a loop of TIMEOUT, FAILOVER, FAILOVER resets leaving the adapter unusable for extended periods of time.
