Unlike most networking drivers using begin() and complete() ethtool_ops callbacks to resume a device which is down and suspend it again when done, epic100 does not use standard refcounted infrastructure but sets device sleep state directly. With the introduction of netlink ethtool interface, we may have nested begin-complete blocks so that inner complete() would put the device back to sleep for the rest of the outer block. To avoid rewriting an old and not very actively developed driver, just add a nesting counter and only perform resume and suspend on the outermost level.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
