One more thing looks strange in this patch:
ixgbe_dev_cannel_link_thread
Should it be
ixgbe_dev_cancel_link_thread
?
Note: I looked at it because I am not sure multiplying the interrupt
threads is a good idea.
Basically the link status management is too long in this driver.
Instead of fixing the root cause, you move the annoying workload
somewhere else. But it is still there...
Please could you work on a long term fix?
