Sukadev Bhattiprolu bc40616481 ibmvnic: don't stop queue in xmit
[ Upstream commit 8878e46fcfd46b19964bd90e13b25dd94cbfc9be ]

If adapter's resetting bit is on, discard the packet but don't stop the
transmit queue - instead leave that to the reset code. With this change,
it is possible that we may get several calls to ibmvnic_xmit() that simply
discard packets and return.

But if we stop the queue here, we might end up doing so just after
__ibmvnic_open() started the queues (during a hard/soft reset) and before
the ->resetting bit was cleared. If that happens, there will be no one to
restart queue and transmissions will be blocked indefinitely.

This can cause a TIMEOUT reset and with auto priority failover enabled,
an unnecessary FAILOVER reset to less favored backing device and then a
FAILOVER back to the most favored backing device. If we hit the window
repeatedly, we can get stuck in a loop of TIMEOUT, FAILOVER, FAILOVER
resets leaving the adapter unusable for extended periods of time.

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.
