[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/bnx2x: fix call to link handling periodic function' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/27/18. 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. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnx2x: fix call to link handling periodic function

[ upstream commit 0f6ebeee2402441b20e45ea27f0ff2a4fc2c165f ]

If link handling periodic function is allowed to be called in interrupt
context, the periodic function can get called too frequently and exhaust
the retry credits to check link status.

This change makes sure link handling periodic function is not called in
interrupt context.

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