  Hi Changchun,
I found you had done follow change to allow the virtio interface startup when the link is down.  Is there any scenario causing link down for virtio interface?



Brs,

Hi,
The result is still the same.

Suggest you use testpmd to replace l2fwd, and virito need tx some packets before forwarding any packet. 
In testpmd, you can use the following cmd:
Start tx_first

Hi,

I have seen this issue happen on older kernels like 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64
while it works with no issues on a recent kernel like 3.10.x.

Further, I found this issue was happening due to
/sys/bus/pci/devices/<virtio_nic_dev>/msi_irqs dir not being enumerated in
older kernels resulting in
hw->use_msix=0. This causes VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG() offset to change and hence
the Link status issue shows up.

Setting hw->use_msix=1 helped me get past this issue on
2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64

Thanks,
Vijay

Not really in my environment, those codes are RFC codes from Brocade,
Not merged into mainline yet. 

You can apply this patch and ignore the link state to see if rx and tx still works.

Thanks

Hi,
I have ingnored the link status. Rx and tx can't work.
I will try the methods Vijay suggested to have a try. Thanks! 

Brs,
Fu Weiyi
