There's a rare pci_driver.probe failure of the VF driver that's caused by PF/VF handshake going out of sync. The culprit is octeon_mbox_write() who ignores an ack timeout condition; it just keeps unconditionally writing all elements of mbox_cmd->data[] even when the other side is not ready for them. Fix it by making each write of mbox_cmd->data[i] conditional to having previously received an ack. Also fix the octeon_mbox_state enum such that each state gets a unique value. Also add ULL suffix to numeric literals in macro definitions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
