patch 'net/igc/base: fix infinite loop' has been queued to stable release 24.11.2

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/17/25. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/65e9bf364b4c3c6995d1595618a888ea06284b0a

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/igc/base: fix infinite loop

[ upstream commit 532e495e4a20cf09e1f42d01bcbe782f7e2bb03f ]

When the driver fails to acquire HW semaphore, there is nothing that can
be done to address it, so just leave to avoid an infinite loop.

Fixes: 8cb7c57d9b3c ("net/igc: support device initialization")
