This happens because link auto negotiation may take longer than the timeout of 4 seconds. Increasing the timeout by 1 seconds resolves the issue. Output from a failing i350 offline self-test: while [ 1 ]; do ethtool -t eth2 offline; done The test result is PASS The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 0 The test result is FAIL The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 1 The test result is PASS The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 0 Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c index 40b5d56..a3830a8 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ethtool.c @@ -1891,7 +1891,7 @@ static int igb_link_test(struct igb_adapter *adapter, u64 *data) } else { hw->mac.ops.check_for_link(&adapter->hw); if (hw->mac.autoneg) - msleep(4000); + msleep(5000); if (!(rd32(E1000_STATUS) & E1000_STATUS_LU)) *data = 1;
