Subject: i40e XDP program stops transmitting after link down/up

I got a inquiry from a colleague about a behavior he's seeing with i40e
but not with other NICs. The interfaces are bonded with a XDP
load-balancer program attached to them. After 'ip link set ethX down; ip
link set ethX up' on one of the interfaces the XDP program on that
interface is no longer transmitting packets. He found that tx starts
again after running 'sudo ethtool -t ethX'.

There's a 'i40e 0000:d8:00.1: VSI seid 391 XDP Tx ring 0 disable
timeout' message in dmesg when disabling the interface. I've included
the relevant portions from dmesg below.

This was first observed with a 6.1 kernel, but we've confirmed that the
behavior is the same in 6.7. I realize the firmware is pretty old, so
far our attempts to update the NVM have failed.

Thanks,
Seth
