Sukadev Bhattiprolu 65d6470d13 ibmvnic: clean pending indirect buffs during reset
We batch subordinate command response queue (scrq) descriptors that we
need to send to the VIOS using an "indirect" buffer. If after we queue
one or more scrqs in the indirect buffer encounter an error (say fail
to allocate an skb), we leave the queued scrq descriptors in the
indirect buffer until the next call to ibmvnic_xmit().

On the next call to ibmvnic_xmit(), it is possible that the adapter is
going through a reset and it is possible that the long term  buffers
have been unmapped on the VIOS side. If we proceed to flush (send) the
packets that are in the indirect buffer, we will end up using the old
map ids and this can cause the VIOS to trigger an unnecessary FATAL
error reset.

Instead of flushing packets remaining on the indirect_buff, discard
(clean) them instead.

README

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.
