Hello guys,
Our preliminary tests seems to indicate this solves the issue with
the ixgbe driver. My fear is now that other drivers might show the same
behavior. Patching ovs to fallback to ethtool is a good way to avoid
this imho.
Thank you very much,

Sorry for the delay. We got the patched merged in a test kernel and
we'll test it asap.
Thank you,
Dave

Hello sir,
I do not understand either but that's what's happening. It's a
fiber adapter so maybe the driver says it's supported and when trying to
request values from the nic itself it fails because it's no longer
supported... but that's only a though .
Thank you very much,

Hello sir,
We have a customer hitting an issue where ixgbe will not return an
error at "SIOCGMIIPHY" but will hit it later at "SIOCGMIIREG" so instead
of failling at miimon and never doing the failover, we'd like it to use
ethtool which is properly returning the link state.
Thank you very
