From dd131e76e562fa0c6f9dd53130e8d08d39a0b62c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sarveshwar Bandi <sarveshwarb@serverengines.com> Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 16:16:32 -0700 Subject: be2net: Bug fix to avoid disabling bottom half during firmware upgrade. Certain firmware commands/operations to upgrade firmware could take several seconds to complete. The code presently disables bottom half during these operations which could lead to unpredictable behaviour in certain cases. This patch now does all firmware upgrade operations asynchronously using a completion variable. Signed-off-by: Sarveshwar Bandi <sarveshwarb@serverengines.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
