[PATCH 4.17 269/324] ibmvnic: Revise RX/TX queue error messages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 05:03:00 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2d14d3795294d42aacc278948984a480569bcc23 ]

During a device failover, there may be latency between the loss
of the current backing device and a notification from firmware that
a failover has occurred. This latency can result in a large amount of
error printouts as firmware returns outgoing traffic with a generic
error code. These are not necessarily errors in this case as the
firmware is busy swapping in a new backing adapter and is not ready
to send packets yet. This patch reclassifies those error codes as
warnings with an explanation that a failover may be pending. All
other return codes will be considered errors.
