Improve reliability of the mailbox communication and remove its potential flaws that may lead to the undefined or faulty behavior. Recently some users reported issues on ESX with 10G Intel NICs which were found to be caused by incorrect implementation of the PF-VF mailbox communication. Technical investigation highlighted areas to improve in the communication between PF or VF that wants to send the message (sender) and the other part which receives the message (receiver): - Locking the mailbox when the sender wants to send a message - Releasing the mailbox when the communication ends - Returning the result of the mailbox message execution Signed-off-by: Radoslaw Tyl <radoslawx.tyl@intel.com> Tested-by: Tony Brelinski <tony.brelinski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
