Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] ethdev: add set link state on close API
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 14:02:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829140224.1748255-2-ciara.loftus@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829140224.1748255-1-ciara.loftus@intel.com>
Allow the user to configure the state a link should be in after
the device has been stopped/closed. Make this configurable
through the new experimental rte_eth_dev_set_link_state_on_close
API. Three states are allowed:
1. down: bring (or keep) the link down
2. up: bring (or keep) the link up
3. initial: restore the link to the state it was in when the device was
started.

=======================================================
+ * ** Added link state on close ethdev API
+
+ * Added a new API to the ethdev library to allow the configuration of link state
+ on device close. It can be configured as down, up or restored to initial state.
