[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/i40e: fix link down and negotiation issue

Fri Jul 21 05:07:04 CEST 2017


Enable the functions set link down and set link up in i40e by check
phy_type, and fix the issue of auto negotiation failed in XXV710 when
bind kernel driver after unbind from dpdk driver by modify the speed
setting distinguish from set link up and down. With this fix, if unbind
dpdk to bind kernel driver, no need to set auto negotiation and ifconfi
up anymore, remove the part from doc.

Fixes: ca7e599d4506 ("net/i40e: fix link management")
Fixes: 2f1e22817420 ("i40e: skip link control as firmware workaround")
Fixes: 6e145fcc754b ("i40e: support autoneg or force link speed")

-Link down with i40e kernel driver after DPDK application exit
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-After DPDK application quit, and the device is bound back to Linux i40e
-kernel driver, the link cannot be up after ``ifconfig <dev> up``.
-To work around this issue, ``ethtool -s <dev> autoneg on`` should be
-set first and then the link can be brought up through ``ifconfig <dev> up``.
