[dpdk-dev,v3,01/10] vmxnet3: fix link state handling

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming@brocade.com>

The Intel version of VMXNET3 driver does not handle link state properly.
The VMXNET3 API returns 1 if connected and 0 if disconnected.
Also need to return correct value to indicate state change.

Hi Stephen,

Have you considered supporting LSC interrupts in vmxnet3?

Thanks,

I tried implementing it but it is not possible since the VMXNET3 device
API does not have an interrupt mask. Therefore there is no way to get
Link State interrupts but not get an interrupt for every packet received.
