So the mac_type is ixgbe_mac_X550_vf in the below case. -- Regards, Souvik From: Dey, Souvik Sent: Wednesday, March 4, 2020 1:17 PM To: dev@dpdk.org Cc: xiaolong...@intel.com; xiao.zh...@intel.com; us...@dpdk.org Subject: Issue with X550 link status Hi All, After upgrading to DPDK 18.11.6 LTS release from 18.11.2 the link_update call for link status update is not working for X550 NICs SR-IOV enabled. On debugging it looks like the change introduced as a part of this patch is causing the issue. https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/62140/ @@ -4135,6 +4138,10 @@ ixgbe_dev_link_update_share(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, return rte_eth_linkstatus_set(dev, &link); } + esdp_reg = IXGBE_READ_REG(hw, IXGBE_ESDP); + if ((esdp_reg & IXGBE_ESDP_SDP3)) + link_up = 0; + if (link_up == 0) { if (ixgbe_get_media_type(hw) == ixgbe_media_type_fiber) { intr->flags |= IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_CONFIG; I can see that the esdp_req is coming as 3735928495(0xDEADBEAF) and due to which the link_up is set to 0 even when ixgbevf_check_link returned link_up as 1. Along with this patch I also see a path_fullchk patch introduced , does that play any role in this ? Can someone please let me know if the patch has got some issues or it is behaving correctly and the link_status is failing for valid reason. As mentioned earlier the same HW with same NIC acting in SR-IOV works fine with 18.11.2 DPDK . I am blocked at a customer bug dew to this and any urgent help will be much appreciated. -- Regards, Souvik ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notice: This e-mail together with any attachments may contain information of Ribbon Communications Inc. that is confidential and/or proprietary for the sole use of the intended recipient.
