Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next] net: linkwatch: allow vlans to get carrier
 changes faster

> There is a time-lag of IFF_RUNNING flag consistency between vlan and

> broken.
> 
> This leads to a degradation of Availability such as a delay of failover

> 
> We can avoid the linkwatch delay (~1 sec) for devices linked to another
