Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com> Its reported that loading the cxgb4 can take over 1 minute, use the more sane request_firmware_nowait() API call just in case this amount of time is causing issues. The driver uses the firmware API 3 times, one for the firmware, one for configuration and another one for flash, this provides the port for all cases. I don't have the hardware so please test. I did verify we can use this during pci probe and also during the ethtool flash callback. Luis R. Rodriguez (3): cxgb4: make ethtool set_flash use request_firmware_nowait() cxgb4: make configuration load use request_firmware_nowait() cxgb4: make device firmware load use request_firmware_nowait() drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4.h | 13 ++ drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_main.c | 258 +++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 176 insertions(+), 95 deletions(-) -- 2.0.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
