Subject: [PATCH net 4/4] gve: Make ethtool config changes synchronous
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:18:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420171837.455487-5-hramamurthy@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420171837.455487-1-hramamurthy@google.com>
From: Pin-yen Lin <treapking@google.com>
When modifying device features via ethtool, the driver queues the
carrier status update to its workqueue (gve_wq). This leads to a
short link-down state after running the ethtool command.
Use `gve_turnup_and_check_status()` instead of `gve_turnup()` in
`gve_queues_start()` to update the carrier status before returning to
the userspace.
This was discovered by drivers/net/ping.py selftest. The test calls
ping command right after an ethtool configuration, but the interface
could be down without this fix.
