Subject: [PATCH net-next] net-sysfs: restore behavior for not running devices
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 05:12:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250221051223.576726-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

modprobe dummy dumdummies=1

Old behavior :

$ cat /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier
cat: /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier: Invalid argument

After blamed commit, an empty string is reported.

$ cat /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier
$

In this commit, I restore the old behavior for carrier,
speed and duplex attributes.

Fixes: 79c61899b5ee ("net-sysfs: remove rtnl_trylock from device attributes")
