BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2047853 Under heavy traffic, the BlueField Gigabit interface can become unresponsive. This is due to a possible race condition in the mlxbf_gige_rx_packet function, where the function exits with producer and consumer indices equal but there are remaining packet(s) to be processed. In order to prevent this situation, read receive consumer index *before* the HW replenish so that the mlxbf_gige_rx_packet function returns an accurate return value even if a packet is received into just-replenished buffer prior to exiting this routine. If the just-replenished buffer is received and occupies the last RX ring entry, the interface would not recover and instead would encounter RX packet drops related to internal buffer shortages since the driver RX logic is not being triggered to drain the RX ring. This patch will address and prevent this "ring full" condition.
