This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: amd-xgbe: Reset link when the link never comes back to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-amd-xgbe-reset-link-when-the-link-never-comes-ba.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5fe1c20eb2890ca2e625d843270470f0d0ae6a12 Author: Shyam Sundar S K <Shyam-sundar.S-k@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 17 00:37:09 2021 +0530 net: amd-xgbe: Reset link when the link never comes back [ Upstream commit 84fe68eb67f9499309cffd97c1ba269de125ff14 ] Normally, auto negotiation and reconnect should be automatically done by the hardware. But there seems to be an issue where auto negotiation has to be restarted manually. This happens because of link training and so even though still connected to the partner the link never "comes back". This needs an auto-negotiation restart. Also, a change in xgbe-mdio is needed to get ethtool to recognize the link down and get the link change message. This change is only required in a backplane connection mode.
