Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: do not update link status in secondary process
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 10:33:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240320173407.216307-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1710865092-2796-1-git-send-email-junwang01@cestc.cn>

The code to update link status is not safe in secondary process.
If called from secondary it will crash, example from dumpcap:
	ixgbe_dev_link_update_share()
	ixgbe_dev_link_update()
	rte_eth_link_get()

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
Reported-by: Jun Wang <junwang01@cestc.cn>

Simpler version of earlier patch, and add explanation.
