From b9029e941dd66d2bc2ab529807a1eef4444f62f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 14:16:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] i40evf: don't give up When the VF driver is unable to communicate with the PF, it just gives up and never tries again. Aside from the obvious character flaw that this shows, it's also a lousy user experience. When PF communications fail, wait five seconds, and try again. And again. Don't give up, little VF driver! Your prince will come!
