From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jia Yu Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] rte_ethdev: update link status (speed, duplex, link_up) after rte_eth_dev_start Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 08:00:28 +0000 Message-ID: References: <1415381511-43364-1-git-send-email-jyu@vmware.com> <1415381511-43364-2-git-send-email-jyu@vmware.com> <3121142.D7ktn8xfBZ@xps13> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cc: "dev-VfR2kkLFssw@public.gmane.org" To: "Zhang, Helin" Return-path: In-Reply-To: <3121142.D7ktn8xfBZ@xps13> Content-Language: en-US Content-ID: <22DB6E6166183B4B83AF24176C22641F-xOhs/FgTdIXLi+/K9TH57EEOCMrvLtNR@public.gmane.org> List-Id: patches and discussions about DPDK List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: dev-bounces-VfR2kkLFssw@public.gmane.org Sender: "dev" My answer to Helin=B9s comments: This patch is needed for bond slave devices or other devices, when LSC interrupt is enabled. 1. slave_configure() -> slave_eth_dev->=8A.lsc =3D 1 2. rte_eth_link_get() reads dev_link from eth_dev, when lsc interrupt is enabled. However, the dev_link on eth_dev has not be initialized and showed link down state. This patch initializes the device=B9s dev_link at rte_eth_dev_start time. Please let me know if you have further questions/comments.
