From 19b73d8efaa459a66665b5e0a3e7acedd05f4901 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:59:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] i40evf: Add additional check for reset If the driver happens to read a register during the time in which the device is undergoing reset, it will receive a value of 0xdeadbeef instead of a valid value. Unfortunately, the driver may misinterpret this as a valid value, especially if it's just looking for individual bits. Add an explicit check for this value when we are looking for admin queue errors, and trigger reset recovery if we find it.
