Subject: [PATCHv2] tun: fix carrier on/off status
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:38:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130128103801.GA6648@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130128101111.GB5337@redhat.com>

Commit c8d68e6be1c3b242f1c598595830890b65cea64a removed carrier off call
from tun_detach since it's now called on queue disable and not only on
tun close.  This confuses userspace which used this flag to detect a
free tun. To fix, put this back but under if (clean).

Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

---

Changes from v1:
	Don't set carrier off unless all queues are closed.

Note: didn't test in MQ mode - Jason, care checking this does the
right thing there?
