From 4cf7bc0d276ba1fcd1330b83cece162cdf3a482b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2019 12:50:37 -0800 Subject: ice: don't spam VFs with link messages Don't send a link message to the VFs unless link actually changes state. This avoids a small timing hole in some VF drivers that can cause an apparent TX hang if they receive a link status message at the wrong time. Although we have fixed the timing hole in the current VF driver, there are still lots of drivers in the field that have this timing hole. Let's not fall into it if we can avoid it.
