Subject: [PATCH net] ice: fix netdev bring-up and bring-down in self-test
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:23:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327072332.130320-7-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327072332.130320-1-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com>

From: Konstantin Ilichev <konstantin.ilichev@intel.com>

When an offline self-test is initiated with ethtool -t, any ongoing
traffic could get stuck because ice_stop() and ice_open() are called
without letting the OS know about state transitions.  In most cases
a write() system call would block.

Fix this by calling dev_change_flags() to bring the netdev up and
down, which ensures ndo_open()/ndo_stop() are called and all watchers
are notified correctly.
