Subject: RE: [PATCH 2/4] ipgre: follow state of lower device

Is this the same issue I described in the email below?

  Subject:Route flush on linkdown: physical vs virtual/stacked
interfaces
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=133468470719285&w=2

(ie, need to propagate carrier changes to upper layer device/s)

Thanks
/Chris
