    igbvf: add lock around mailbox ops · 32652c2a
    Greg Edwards authored
    The PF driver assumes the VF will not send another mailbox message until
    the PF has written its reply to the previous message.  If the VF does,
    that message will be silently dropped by the PF before it writes its
    reply to the mailbox.  This results in a VF mailbox timeout for posted
    messages waiting for an ACK, and the VF is reset by the
    igbvf_watchdog_task in the VM.
    
    Add a lock around the VF mailbox ops to prevent the VF from sending
    another message while the PF is still processing the previous one.
