[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] net/i40e: extend VF reset waiting time

[Wenjun Wu <wenjun1.wu@intel.com>]

When starting VF, VF will issue reset command to PF, wait a fixed
amount of time, and assume VF reset is done on PF side. However,
compared with kernel PF, DPDK PF needs more time to setup. If we
run DPDK PF to support DPDK VF, the original delay will not be
enough. When we first start VF after PF is launched, the execution
time of the statement info.msg_buf = rte_zmalloc("msg_buffer",
info.buf_len, 0); in the function i40e_dev_handle_aq_msg is more
than 200ms. It may cause VF start error.

This patch extend VF reset waiting time from 200ms to 500ms so that
VF can start normally when using DPDK PF and DPDK VF in most cases.

v2: change the delay to 500ms because it can cover most cases.
v3: perfect the commit message.
v4: correct spelling mistakes.
