When the PF receives a mailbox message from the VF, it grabs the mailbox lock, reads the VF message from the mailbox, ACKs the message and drops the lock. While the PF is performing the action for the VF message, nothing prevents another VF message from being posted to the mailbox. The current code handles this condition by just dropping any new VF messages without processing them. This results in a mailbox timeout in the VM for posted messages waiting for an ACK, and the VF is reset by the igbvf_watchdog_task in the VM. Given the right sequence of VF messages and mailbox timeouts, this condition can go on ad infinitum. Modify the PF mailbox read method to take an 'unlock' argument that optionally leaves the mailbox locked by the PF after reading the VF message. This ensures another VF message is not posted to the mailbox until after the PF has completed processing the VF message and written its reply.
