NIX_AF_TX_LINKX_NORM_CREDIT holds running counter of tx credits available per link. But, tx credits should be configured based on MTU config. So MTU change needs tx credit count update. An issue exists whereby when both PF & VF are enabled and PF traffic is flowing, if VF requests for MTU update, updating the NORM_CREDIT register will lead to corruption of credit count and subsequent deadlock of tx link as the NORM_CREDIT register holds running count. This patch provides workaround by pausing link traffic using NIX_AF_TL1X_SW_XOFF, waiting for existing packets to drain, and used credits be returned before updating new credit count.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
