In Virtualization case, when one VF is sending too many FLR requests, hypervisor would stop responding to this VF's request for a long period of time. This is called event guard. During this period of cooling time, guest driver should wait instead of doing other things. After this period of time, guest driver would resume reset process and return to normal. Currently, guest driver would wait 12 seconds and return fail if it doesn't get response from host. Solution: extend this waiting time in guest driver and poll response periodically. Poll happens every 6 seconds and it will last for 60 seconds. v2: change the max repetition times from number to macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
