Thomas Falcon says: ==================== ibmvnic: Harden device commands and queries This patch series fixes some shortcomings with the current VNIC device command implementation. The first patch fixes the initialization of driver completion structures used for device commands. Additionally, all waits for device commands are bounded with a timeout in the event that the device does not respond or becomes inoperable. Finally, serialize queries to retain the integrity of device return codes. Changes in v2: - included header comment for ibmvnic_wait_for_completion - removed open-coded loop in patch 3/4, suggested by Jakub - ibmvnic_wait_for_completion accepts timeout value in milliseconds instead of jiffies - timeout calculations cleaned up and completed before wait loop - included missing mutex_destroy calls, suggested by Jakub - included comment before mutex declaration ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
