[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: netdevsim: fix inconsistent carrier state after link/unlink

[yk@y-koj.net]

From: Yohei Kojima <yk@y-koj.net>

This series fixes netdevsim's inconsistent behavior between carrier
and link/unlink state.

More specifically, this fixes a bug that the carrier goes DOWN although
two netdevsim were peered, depending on the order of peering and ifup.
Especially in a NetworkManager-enabled environment, netdevsim test fails
because of this.

The first patch fixes the bug itself in netdevsim/bus.c by adding
netif_carrier_on() into a proper function. The second patch adds a
regression test for this bug.
