[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix eagain on admin down

[Mike Manning]

Hi Slava,
Thanks, you are right - I retract my patch, as this was fixed in v19.08
by 6fd05da9efbd ("net/mlx5: fix link speed info when link is down") as
per the line you indicate.

I should explain that we are using Debian 10 which uses v18.11, here we
had a painful issue with the combination of this -EAGAIN and use of
netlink to obtain the ifindex resulting in concurrent use of the netlink
socket causing the calling thread to block indefinitely.

Regards
Mike
