From 80fd2d6ca5461b2752744df2e6e387cc65e7b86c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Travis Brown Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 00:35:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macvlan: Change status when lower device goes down Today macvlan ignores the notification when a lower device goes administratively down, preventing the lack of connectivity from bubbling up. Processing NETDEV_DOWN results in a macvlan state of LOWERLAYERDOWN with NO-CARRIER which should be easy to interpret in userspace. 2: lower: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 3: macvlan@lower: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 Signed-off-by: Suresh Krishnan Signed-off-by: Travis Brown Signed-off-by: David S.
