Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/07/26. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/a2cf52a882e7bf2ca1e3d5f20ec58e42bde01a18

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: update link speed when status is unchanged

[ upstream commit 1e5abae3e8d6d45a70bda0475365827a7d639f85 ]

hn_dev_link_update() returns without updating the cached link when
the link status has not changed. A speed change alone is never
reported, and if the link is down at port start, the cached speed
and duplex stay zero.

Always update the cached link, and only log when the status changes.

Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
