Hi Pavel Fedin,
Are running Fedora 21 on Cavium ThunderX ?
Do you see linkup notification (dmesg) ?
If you see the existing driver (pasted snippet below), it does call
netif_carrier_on() upon receiving l
ink up notification from BGX driver.
===
case NIC_MBOX_MSG_BGX_LINK_CHANGE:
.
if (nic->link_up) {
netdev_info(nic->netdev, "%s: Link is Up %d Mbps %s\n",
nic->netdev->name, nic->speed,
nic->duplex == DUPLEX_FULL ?
"Full duplex" : "Half duplex");
netif_carrier_on(nic->netdev);
netif_tx_start_all_queues(nic->netdev);
This patch removes calling carrier on by default.
Thanks,
Sunil.
