Re: [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: fix link state on device start

Thursday, January 25, 2018 6:04 PM, Shahaf Shuler:

Following commit c7bf62255edf ("net/mlx5: fix handling link status event")
the link state must be up in order for the burst function to be set on the
device ops.

As the link may take time to move between down and up state it is possible
the rte_eth_dev_start call will return with wrong burst function (either null
or the empty burst function).

Fixing it by forcing the link to be up before returning from device start. In
case the link is still not up after 5 seconds fail the function.
In addition initialize the burst function on device probe to prevent crashes
before the link is up.
