patch 'net/dpaa2: fix link after port stop/start' has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/03/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/0202ebfe2e7b4fffc7c4a70b2d5aa85f15d916d1

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/dpaa2: fix link after port stop/start

[ upstream commit d1e32473d1145870fc26e8a9241d3a41014c457e ]

When LSC (Link State Change) interrupts are enabled, the link status
is only updated by interrupt events -- rte_eth_link_get_nowait() reads
the cached value without querying the hardware.

During dev_start(), dpaa2_dev_set_link_up() was called immediately
after dpni_enable(), before LSC interrupts were registered. The MAC
needs ~30ms to renegotiate after being re-enabled, so the initial
link query returned link down. By the time the link came up, the LSC
interrupt handler was not yet installed, so the link-up event was
missed and the cached link status remained down permanently.

The issue does not occur on the first dev_start() after probe because
dpni_reset() during probe does not bring the MAC down -- the kernel
dpmac driver keeps the physical link up. Only dpni_disable() during
dev_stop() causes the MAC to go down, requiring a full renegotiation
on the next dpni_enable().

The problem is more likely to occur with many queues: the queue setup
loop (dpni_get_queue for each RX queue) between dpni_enable() and the
LSC interrupt registration adds MC portal round-trips, giving the MAC
more time to complete negotiation before interrupts are armed. This
makes the link-up event more likely to be missed.

Move dpaa2_dev_set_link_up() after the LSC interrupt setup so that
any link-up event occurring during MAC negotiation is properly caught.
