[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/ixgbe: wait longer for link after fiber MAC setup' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/27/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: wait longer for link after fiber MAC setup

[ upstream commit 64f1c8539c8ce99214b9eb1fb728a2c6745f3300 ]

After setting up the link on a fiber port, the maximum wait time for
the link to come up is 500 ms in ixgbe_setup_mac_link_multispeed_fiber().
On an x550 SFP+ port, this is often not sufficiently long for the link
to come up. This can result in never being able to retrieve accurate
link status for the port using rte_eth_link_get_nowait().

Increase the maximum wait time in ixgbe_setup_mac_link_multispeed_fiber()
to 1 s.

Bugzilla ID: 69
Fixes: f3430431abaf ("ixgbe/base: add SFP+ dual-speed support")
