[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fixed port can not link up in FreeBSD

[Lunyuan Cui]

In FreeBSD environment, nic_uio drivers do not support interrupts,
rte_intr_callback_register() will fail to register interrupts.
We can not make link status to change from down to up by interrupt
callback. So we need to wait for the controller to acquire link
when ports start. Through multiple tests, 5s should be enough.

Might be better to put it into a separate function to keep start() code clean.

You can hide ifdef inside the function, see below.

This function can be static, plus pls try to follow dpdk codying style:

static int
ixgbe_wait_for_link_up(struct ixgbe_hw *hw)
{
   .... 

You can put #ifdef inside the function:
#ifdef RTE_EXEC_ENV_FREEBSD
<do something meaningfull here>
#else
RTE_SET_USED(hw);
#endif

Or even:
#ifdef RTE_EXEC_ENV_FREEBSD
const uint32_t nb_iter = 25;
#else
const uint32_t nb_iter = 0;
#endif

...
for (i = 0; i < nb_iter; i++) { 
   ...

> +{
> +	int err, i, link_up = 0;

Empty line here would help readability.

In FreeBSD environment, nic_uio drivers do not support interrupts,
rte_intr_callback_register() will fail to register interrupts.
We can not make link status to change from
down to up by interrupt callback.
So we need to wait for the controller to
acquire link when ports start.
Through multiple tests, 5s should be enough.
