From dcaccc825b5475266bf343defa086d7b70b599f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:03:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Exit on error case in VF message processing Previously we would get a mailbox error and still process the message. Instead we should exit on error. In addition we should also be flushing the ACK of the message so that we can guarantee that the other end is aware we have received the message while we are processing it.
