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!
