Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/i40e: extend the polling times of vf reset
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:46:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210823034623.7467-1-chenqiming_huawei@163.com> (raw)

In the embedded RTOS environment, the x722 controller Ethernet card of
the d2146nt chip, the vfio user mode driver takes over 8 vf ports in
turn, but i40evf_check_vf_reset_done will probably fail.

This issue has been discussed with intel&dpdk experts for 3 rounds
before, and the version matching is no problem, and there is no
substantial progress. The official website contacted external experts,
but there was no response afterwards. Learning from the implementation
of the i40evf kernel driver locally, after modifying the polling time
from 1 second to 5s, the repeated restart process took over the start
port test, and it was found that this probability was reduced to an
order of magnitude acceptable to the user.

The patch cannot fundamentally solve the failure problem, but it greatly
slows down the probability of the problem. The modification is based on the
i40evf kernel driver.
