From: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@xxxxxxxxx> When an XDP redirect happens before the link is ready, that transmission will not finish and will timeout, causing an adapter reset. If the redirects do not stop, the adapter will not stop resetting. Wait for the driver to signal that there's a carrier before allowing transmissions to proceed. Previous code was relying that when __IGC_DOWN is cleared, the NIC is ready to transmit as all the queues are ready, what happens is that the carrier presence will only be signaled later, after the watchdog workqueue has a chance to run. And during this interval (between clearing __IGC_DOWN and the watchdog running) if any transmission happens the timeout is emitted (detected by igc_tx_timeout()) which causes the reset, with the potential for the infinite loop.
