Hi, all
Thanks for the reply from Jeff.
V2: Based on feedback from Jeff Kirsher, it is not appropriate to continue
in the function ixgbe_watchdog_link_is_up without link_speed since this will
make some virtual NICs not work well.
V3: Based on feedback from Emil Tantilov, the time span between link_up
and link_speed is not important when the X540 NIC acts as an independent
interface.
V4: According to Rustad, Mark D, maybe it is related with copper phy. To make
fiber phy more robust, synchronize both the link_up and link_speed of a
slave
interface in ixgbe driver.
V5: Based on feedback from Rustad, Mark D, simplify code comment and if
statement
to only test for IFF_SLAVE flag and unknown link speed.
V6: Based on feedback from Jeff Kirsher, the patch format is adjusted
and change log of this patch are added.
Best Regards!
Zhu Yanjun
