Hi Thomas, We found an i40e link status issue, it has been described in bugzilla[1], but briefly when lsc interrupt is enabled, links status is not reliable.
We are aware of the risk at this point and the scope of the issue and change is limited to the driver. There is already a fix but it is under verification. Is it possible to push release to tomorrow to be able to complete the verification so that we can get it into 18.05? Thanks, ferruh [1] https://dpdk.org/tracker/show_bug.cgi?id=54
