Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 12:46:33 +1000 From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, Gavin Shan <gwshan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/8] net/ncsi: Disable HWA mode when no channels are found When there are no NCSI channels probed, HWA (Hardware Arbitration) mode is enabled. It's not correct because HWA depends on the fact: NCSI channels exist and all of them support HWA mode. This disables HWA when no channels are probed.
