Revision 609ea65c65a0f801c285abf524d36d1f4635d942 authored by Vadim Lomovtsev on 20 February 2019, 11:02:44 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 22 February 2019, 19:43:45 UTC
In some cases it could happen that nicvf_send_msg_to_pf() could be called
concurrently for the same NIC VF, and thus re-writing mailbox contents and
breaking messaging sequence with PF by re-writing NICVF data.

This commit is to implement mutex for NICVF to protect mailbox registers
and NICVF messaging control data from concurrent access.
