[PATCH 8/8] net: thunderx: check status of mailbox IRQ before sending a message

From: Vadim Lomovtsev
Date: Wed Feb 06 2019 - 05:14:21 EST


In order to prevent mailbox data re-writing at VF side we need to check if
there is an active mailbox IRQ from PF, and if there is no one proceed with
sending message to PF. Having spinlock at irq handler and message send
routing wont help since by the moment when code flow would reach the irq
handler and acquire spinlock the message send routine could be already
invoked and thus re-write data in the mailbox.

The same is true for PF while sending messages to VF.

This commit is to implement mailbox IRQ status check before sending
message to VF from PF. Same is for sending message to PF from VF.
