Thank you for pointing, I will fix it.

This is present from the day zero of the mana driver code.
It has not been introduced in the code by any commit.

Here the intent is not waiting for 120 seconds, rather than avoid continue checking the
pending_sends of each tx queues for an indefinite time, before freeing sk_buffs.
The pending_sends can only get decreased for a tx queue, if mana_poll_tx_cq()
gets called for a completion notification and increased by xmit.
In this particular bug, apc->port_is_up is not set to false, causing
xmit to keep increasing the pending_sends for the queue and mana_poll_tx_cq()
not getting called for the queue.
If we see the comment in the function mana_dealloc_queues(), it mentions it :
2346 /* No packet can be transmitted now since apc->port_is_up is false.
2347 * There is still a tiny chance that mana_poll_tx_cq() can re-enable
2348 * a txq because it may not timely see apc->port_is_up being cleared
2349 * to false, but it doesn't matter since mana_start_xmit() drops any
2350 * new packets due to apc->port_is_up being false.
The value 120 seconds has been decided here based on maximum number of queues
are allowed in this specific hardware, it is a safe assumption.

mana_txq structure does not have a pointer to mana_cq.
