Currently i40evf_close() can return before state transitions to __I40EVF_DOWN because of the latency involved in processing and receiving response from PF driver and scheduling of VF watchdog_task. Due to this inconsistency an immediate call to i40evf_open() fails because state is still DOWN_PENDING. When a VF interface is in up state and we try to add it as slave, The bonding driver calls dev_close() and dev_open() in short duration resulting in dev_open returning error. The ifenslave command needs to be run again for dev_open to succeed. This fix ensures that watchdog timer is scheduled immediately after admin queue operations are scheduled in i40evf_down(). In addition a wait condition is added at the end of i40evf_close so that function wont return when state is still DOWN_PENDING. The timeout value is chosen after some profiling and includes some buffer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
