From dbf231af81a789645f7c8d7e3ddce48e1ef08083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 17:38:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: Clear head write-back registers on VF reset The Tx head write-back registers are not cleared during an FLR or VF reset. As a result a configuration that had head write-back enabled can leave the registers set after the driver is unloaded. If the next driver loaded doesn't use the write-back registers this can lead to a bad configuration where head write-back is enabled, but the driver didn't request it. To avoid this situation the PF should be resetting the Tx head write-back registers when the VF requests a reset.
