[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/bnx2x: fix interrupt flood' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.3

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/27/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/a4c0a5ba78bd2763a0437c502beb98332d974c87

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnx2x: fix interrupt flood

[ upstream commit f0219d98defd92297c688855d25294805ec89a3d ]

PMD sets up and clears the slow path interrupt status block in dev_start
and dev_stop flow and slow path interrupt status block DMA memory for
device is allocated in dev_configure flow.

This situation creates a state where, after dev_stop is called, and if
there is a slow path interrupt from device, PMD sees the old value of
status block consumer in dev_start flow, since DMA memory for status
block belongs to old configuration and dev_start will result in
new slow path interrupt status block configuration.
And since PMD fails to ack new slow path interrupt with correct status
block consumer value, device continues to trigger interrupt causing an
interrupt flood.

Fix is to create and destroy status block DMA memory in dev_start and
dev_stop flow instead of dev_configure and dev_close flow.

Fixes: 540a211084a7 ("bnx2x: driver core")
