Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:00:00 -0700 (PDT) From: Petri Gynther <pgynther@...gle.com> To: benh@...nel.crashing.org, davem@...emloft.net Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] 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.
