This network device index is permanent throughout the lifetime of device. We do not spawn the rte_eth_dev ports without associated network device, and if network device is being unbound we get the remove notification event message and rte_eth_dev port is also detached. So, we may store the ifindex in mlx5_device_spawn() routine at rte_eth_dev port creation and initialization time and use the cached value further instead of doing actual Netlink request. This approach allows the query API routines like mlx5_link_update to be thread-safe due to Netlink request elimination. mlx5_link_update() may be called in asynchronous event handler concurrently and it may cause application hang.
