Hi Yanglong,
I think the risk (or bug) is in ixgbevf_check_link(), not how to invoke this function(). Anyone who call ixgbevf_check_link() with "wait = 0", they must can't get right link status when 82599 use DA Cable.
In ixgbevf kernel driver, ixgbe_check_mac_link_vf(), "wait" didn't be referenced.
What about reference to ixgbevf kernel driver, don't use "wait" parameter in ixgbevf_check_link()?
Regards,
Dong

ixgbevf can't get right link status unless it check PF link status in wait mode.
