Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/4] net core: Add protodown support.
From: Anuradha Karuppiah <anuradhak@...ulusnetworks.com>
This patch introduces the IF_PROTOF_DOWN flag via proto_flags that can be
used by user space applications to notify switch drivers that errors have
been detected on the device.
The switch driver can react to protodown notification by doing a phys down
on the associated switch port.
