Hi,
After backporting these patches to 16.04 or 2.2, we get a segmentation
fault when using interface bonding when the interfaces go down. The
scenario is:
- Host has a X540-AT2 10gb card using the ixgbe driver, 2 VFs are
created and passes to the qemu/kvm guest VM via libvirt
- Guest creates a bonded link using the 2 VFs
- Host sets the VFs state to down via ip link
- Guess DPDK app segfaults

It dies in this bit:
/* Update slave link status */
(*slave_ethdev->dev_ops->link_update)(slave_ethdev,
internals->slaves[i].link_status_wait_to_complete);
(gdb) print rte_eth_devices[internals->slaves[i].port_id]
$7 = {rx_pkt_burst = 0x0, tx_pkt_burst = 0x0, data = 0x0, driver = 0x0, dev_ops = 0x0, {pci_dev = 0x0,
vmbus_dev = 0x0}, link_intr_cbs = {tqh_first = 0x0, tqh_last = 0x0}, post_rx_burst_cbs = {
0x0 <repeats 256 times>}, pre_tx_burst_cbs = {0x0 <repeats 256 times>}, attached = 0 '\000',
dev_type = RTE_ETH_DEV_UNKNOWN}
I'm assuming it's not a simply matter of checking the dev_type or for
nulls. Do you have any suggestions/insight? I'm delving into the issue,
but it's the first time I look at the bonding code so any help or
pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Note that I also tried to backport the additional patches for reset that
are currently under review on top of these, but there's no difference.
But I have not yet used the new reset API in our app though.
Thanks!
