Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] i40e: fix no effect wait_to_complete on link_get

["Zhang, XiaonanX" <xiaonanx.zhang@intel.com>]

Hi Thomas,
  First and foremost, We found this problem with using Qos example on Fedora21 platform, there are our reproduce test steps as follows.
  We used this example found FVL 4*10G NIC link status caused to our Qos example could not boot normally in our dpdk2.0 Release Cycle;
  In addition, it is performance case about our FVL 4 * 10G NIC, as you know, our performance result currently should not be public;
  And also that's why our expectation performance data are empty.
  In a nutshell, We have verified this patch and confirmed the Qos example could run and get performance data after we applied this patch to our code.
  Thanks.


Best Regards,
Xiaonan

What is the relation between link status timeout and qos_sched?

This table is empty.

It seems that this test report is not relevant.
It will be ignored in the commit message. Sorry
