Whenever we need to schedule a reset, we allocate an rwi (reset work
item?) entry and add to the list of pending resets.

Since we only add one rwi for a given reason type to the list (no duplicates).
we will only have a handful of reset types in the list - even in the
worst case. In the common case we should just have a couple of entries
at most.

Rather than allocating/freeing every time (and dealing with the corner
case of the allocation failing), use a fixed number of rwi entries.
The extra memory needed is tiny and most of it will be used over the
active life of the adapter.

This also fixes a couple of tiny memory leaks. One is in ibmvnic_reset()
where we don't free the rwi entries after deleting them from the list due
to a transport event.  The second is in __ibmvnic_reset() where if we
find that the adapter is being removed, we simply break out of the loop
(with rc = EBUSY) but ignore any rwi entries that remain on the list.

Fixes: 2770a7984db58 ("Introduce hard reset recovery")
Fixes: 36f1031c51a2 ("ibmvnic: Do not process reset during or after device removal")

       this is not the preferred comment style: ^^

I would just drop the comment here, it is clear from the name of the
enum.

Yeah, we debated and figured the comment could serve as another reminder.

Here is updated patch, fixing the comment style.

Thanks

Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/7] ibmvnic: avoid allocating rwi entries

Whenever we need to schedule a reset, we allocate an rwi (reset work
item?) entry and add to the list of pending resets.

Since we only add one rwi for a given reason type to the list (no duplicates).
we will only have a handful of reset types in the list - even in the
worst case. In the common case we should just have a couple of entries
at most.

Rather than allocating/freeing every time (and dealing with the corner
case of the allocation failing), use a fixed number of rwi entries.
The extra memory needed is tiny and most of it will be used over the
active life of the adapter.

This also fixes a couple of tiny memory leaks. One is in ibmvnic_reset()
where we don't free the rwi entries after deleting them from the list due
to a transport event.  The second is in __ibmvnic_reset() where if we
find that the adapter is being removed, we simply break out of the loop
(with rc = EBUSY) but ignore any rwi entries that remain on the list.

Fixes: 2770a7984db58 ("Introduce hard reset recovery")
Fixes: 36f1031c51a2 ("ibmvnic: Do not process reset during or after device removal")
