Hello, I'll update the code. Thank you. Regards, Gregory Hi Gregory, I think so. For example, In kernel driver, you can find there’s a message that’s used for PF to notify VF when the link state changes. Best regards Wenzhuo Lu *From:* Gregory Etelson [mailto:greg...@weka.io] *Sent:*

Hello, In that case if I need reliable link state detection the only option is PF link verification. Is it so ? Thank you. Regards, Gregory On Thursday, 25 May 2017 08:44:56 IDT Lu, Wenzhuo wrote: Hi Gregory, Yes, I remember i40e kernel driver has the watchdog too. I guess maybe all the NICs

Hi Gregory, Yes, I remember i40e kernel driver has the watchdog too. I guess maybe all the NICs’ kernel driver has the similar mechanism. Not sure as I haven’t checked ☺ Best regards Wenzhuo Lu From: Gregory Etelson [mailto:greg...@weka.io] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2017 1:22 PM To: Lu, Wenzhuo C

Hi Gregory, The mechanism is different. Kernel driver has a watchdog to check the link state periodically. So, it can reset the link automatically. Best regards Wenzhuo Lu From: Gregory Etelson [mailto:greg...@weka.io] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2017 11:45 AM To: Lu, Wenzhuo Cc: dev@dpdk.org; us..

Hi Gregory, After you turned the port donw/up, PF will re-init the VF's registers. So, VF cannot work correctly. That's why you can know link down but not link up and have to reset the process. Best regards Wenzhuo Lu From: Gregory Etelson [mailto:greg...@weka.io] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2017

Hello, In my tests DPDK-17.05.0 process queries link state with rte_eth_link_get() each 50 msec during 5-20 MB/sec IOs flow. I turn Ethernet switch port down and up and check IXGBE VF PMD reaction to link state changes. VF PMD correctly recognize link down events but may miss link up. When the
