[SRU][Zesty][PATCH 0/1] net/mlx4_core: Avoid delays during VF driver device shutdown

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672785

== SRU Justification ==
Mellanox has submitted the following patch upstream that's important for SR-IOV in Azure.

This bug is resolved by commit 4cbe4dac82e4, which landed in mainline as of
v4.11-rc1.

Microsoft would like the commit integrated into the Mellanox mlx4 drivers
for lts-xenial, Xenial, Zesty, and Azure custom.  The SRU request for Xenial 
will be sent separate due to minor context diffs.



== Fix ==
commit 4cbe4dac82e423ecc9a0ba46af24a860853259f4

    net/mlx4_core: Avoid delays during VF driver device shutdown

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
