Hi Ferruh, all,

Let's please discuss another approach to setting KNI link status before
making this API stable:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20190925093623.18419-1-iryzhov@nfware.com/

I explained the problem with the current implementation there.
More than that, using ioctl approach makes it possible to set also speed
and duplex and use them to implement get_link_ksettings callback.
I can send patches for both features.

Hi Igor, agree to discuss your patch before promoting the API, I will comment on
the outstanding patch.

Sounds more than reasonable, +1 from me.

Hi Ferruh,

The following kni experimental symbols are present in both v21.05 and

v19.11 release. These symbols should be considered for promotion to stable
as part of the v22 ABI in DPDK 21.11, as they have been experimental for >=
2yrs at this point.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for follow up.

I just checked the API and planning a small behavior update to it.
If the update is accepted, I suggest keeping the API experimental for

21.08 too,

but can mature it on v21.11.

Thanks,
