[PATCH] bnx2x: Convert return 0 to return rc

From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: 2014-05-16 06:51:48
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: broadcom bnx2x 10 gigabit ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Sudarsana Kalluru, Manish Chopra, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

These "return 0;" uses seem wrong as there are
rc variables where error return values are set
but unused.

Hey Ariel/Dmitry

I've no idea what's right here, but the current
code seems wrong. (or at least under-commented)

It seems Dmitry changed these, perhaps to make
it more readable, but the commit log isn't very
instructive.

    bnx2x: Prevent VF race
    
    The mail box containing the Vf-Pf messages is susceptible
    to a race - it's possible for 2 flows to try and write commands,
    causing one to override the other's message.
    Use a mutex to synchronize the access, preventing said race.
