    ibmvnic: Wait for device response when changing MAC · f813614f
    Thomas Falcon 提交于
    Wait for a response from the VNIC server before exiting after setting
    the MAC address. The resolves an issue with bonding a VNIC client in
    ALB or TLB modes. The bonding driver was changing the MAC address more
    rapidly than the device could respond, causing the following errors.
    
    "bond0: the hw address of slave eth2 is in use by the bond;
    couldn't find a slave with a free hw address to give it
    (this should not have happened)"
    
    If the function waits until the change is finalized, these errors are
    avoided.
