2019-06-13	net/mlx5: Control CR-space access by different PFs	Feras Daoud	1	-5/+35
	Since the FW can be shared between different PFs/VFs it is common that more than one health poll will detected a failure, this can lead to multiple resets which are unneeded. The solution is to use a FW locking mechanism using semaphore space to provide a way to allow only one device to collect the cr-dump and to issue a sw-reset.

2019-06-13	net/mlx5: Add Vendor Specific Capability access gateway	Alex Vesker	1	-0/+286
	The Vendor Specific Capability (VSC) is used to activate a gateway interfacing with the device. The gateway is used to read or write device configurations, which are organized in different domains (spaces). A configuration access may result in multiple actions, reads, writes. Example usages are accessing the Crspace domain to read the crspace or locking a device semaphore using the Semaphore domain. The configuration access use pci_cfg_access to prevent parallel access to the VSC space by the driver and userspace calls.
