Subject: ibm_newemac: emac_close() needs to call netif_carrier_off()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3b325f9c25be6d504bc73afce7f92d0e25001d7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ibm_newemac: emac_close() needs to call netif_carrier_off()

When ibm_newemac netdev instance is shutdown with "ifconfig down",
the netdev interface does not go properly down. netif_carrier_ok()
keeps returning TRUE even after "ifconfig down".

The problem can be seen when ibm_newemac instances are slaves of
a bonding interface. The bonding interface code uses netif_carrier_ok()
to determine the link status of its slaves. When ibm_newemac slave is
shutdown with "ifconfig down", the bonding interface won't detect any
link status change because netif_carrier_ok() keeps returning TRUE.
