+Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: fix false link down timing issue
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This issue is observed with X520-2 NICs on FD.io Taishan server. After
+VPP booting up and bringing up the interfaces with command ‘set
+interface state <interface> up’, it still shows link down status from
+the command ‘show hardware-interfaces’. However, the hardware link
+status is actually up. dpdk_process() cannot get the hardware link
+status correctly via rte_eth_link_get_nowait().
+
+In ixgbe_dev_link_update_share(), if the media type is fiber and the
+link is down, a flag (IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_CONFIG) is set. A callback to
+ixgbe_dev_setup_link_alarm_handler() is scheduled trying to set up the
+link and clear the flag afterwards.
+
+If the device is started or stopped before the flag is cleared, the
+scheduled callback is canceled. This causes the flag to remain set and
+subsequent calls to ixgbe_dev_link_update_share() return without trying
+to retrieve the link state because the flag is set.
+
+When the callback is canceled by either interface start or stop
+operation, in ixgbe_dev_cancel_link_thread(), after cancelling the
+callback/thread, unset the flag on the device to avoid this condition.
