    i40evf: delay releasing rings · e284fc88
    Mitch Williams authored
    When the VF interface is closed, we cannot immediately free our rings
    and RX buffers, because the hardware hasn't yet stopped accessing this
    memory. This shows up as a panic or memory corruption when the device is
    brought down while under heavy stress.
    
    To fix this, delay releasing resources until we receive acknowledgment
    from the PF driver that the rings have indeed been stopped. Because of
    this delay, we also need to check to make sure that all of our admin
    queue requests have been handled before allowing the device to be
    opened.
