Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/4] net: Set dev->proto_down before changing carrier state
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 13:59:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507105906.891817-2-idosch@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507105906.891817-1-idosch@nvidia.com>

A subsequent patch will make netif_carrier_on() a NOP for net devices
that have protodown turned on so that they will not accidentally gain
carrier. As a preparation, set dev->proto_down before calling
netif_carrier_{off,on}().

Note that the only driver that supports protodown and has a notion of a
carrier is macvlan and it is calling netif_carrier_{off,on}() with RTNL
held.

No functional changes intended.
