From ab425cb7ffdb024a45b0b3bcbf58d52ead3c347c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carolyn Wyborny Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 11:28:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: Fix for long link down notification time This patch fixes a problem where it could take a very long time (>100 msec) to print the link down notification. This problem is fixed by changing how often we update link info from fw, when link is down. Without this patch, it can take over 100msec to notify user link is down.
