The dev_rx_discards counter will increment by one when an interface is toggled up and down. The main reason is that the driver first sends a `NFP_NET_CFG_CTRL_ENABLE` configuration packet to the NIC to perform port initialisation when an interface is set up. But there is a race between physical link up and free list queue initialization which may lead to the configuration packet being discarded. To address this problem a new bit NFP_NET_CFG_CTRL_FREELIST_EN is added to perform free list initialisation on the NIC. The FREELIST_EN should be sent in advance to initialize free list queue. When a port is set to down, FREELIST_EN should be sent after CTRL_ENABLE to avoid packet discards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
