Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] net/ibmvnic: Fix reset work item locking bugs

This patch set fixes issues with scheduling reset work items in
a tasklet context. Since ibmvnic_reset can called in an interrupt,
it should not use a mutex or allocate memory non-atomically.

Thomas Falcon (2):
  ibmvnic: Convert reset work item mutex to spin lock
  ibmvnic: Fix non-atomic memory allocation in IRQ context
