    net: hns3: add handling of hw errors reported through MSIX · f6162d44
    Salil Mehta authored
    This patch adds handling for HNS3 hardware errors(non-standard)
    which are reported through MSIX interrupts and not through
    PCIe AER channel.
    
    These MSIX reported hardware errors are handled using common
    misc. interrupt handler. Hardware error related registers
    cannot be cleared in context to the interrupt received as
    they require *heavy* access to hardware using IMP(Integrated
    Mangement Processor) commands. Hence, we defer the clearing
    of such error events till later time.
    
    Since, we have defered exact identification of errors we
    will have to defer the level of receovery/reset which
    might be required. Hence, a new reset type UNKNOWN reset
    has been introduced which effectively defers the assertion
    of the reset till we get hold of kind of errors at later
    time.
