ixgbe: add Tx hang detection unhandled MDD
Add Tx Hang detection due to an unhandled MDD Event. Previously, a malicious VF could disable the entire port causing TX to hang on the E610 card. Those events that caused PF to freeze were not detected as an MDD event and usually required a Tx Hang watchdog timer to catch the suspension, and perform a physical function reset. Implement flows in the affected PF driver in such a way to check the cause of the hang, detect it as an MDD event and log an entry of the malicious VF that caused the Hang. The PF blocks the malicious VF, if it continues to be the source of several MDD events. Reviewed-by:Przemek Kitszel <przemyslaw.kitszel@intel.com> Reviewed-by:
