commit e2710dbf0d upstream.
Alex reported the following race condition:
/* link goes up... interrupt... schedule watchdog */
\ e1000_watchdog_task
\ e1000e_has_link
\ hw->mac.ops.check_for_link() === e1000e_check_for_copper_link
\ e1000e_phy_has_link_generic(..., &link)
link = true
/* link goes down... interrupt */
\ e1000_msix_other
hw->mac.get_link_status = true
/* link is up */
mac->get_link_status = false
link_active = true
/* link_active is true, wrongly, and stays so because
* get_link_status is false */
Avoid this problem by making sure that we don't set get_link_status = false
after having checked the link.
It seems this problem has been present since the introduction of e1000e.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
