Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] net: phy: phylink: ensure the carrier is off when starting phylink
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 11:39:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180919093933.24411-2-antoine.tenart@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180919093933.24411-1-antoine.tenart@bootlin.com>

Phylink made an assumption about the carrier state being down when
calling phylink_start(). If this assumption isn't satisfied, the
internal phylink state could misbehave and a net device could end up not
being functional.

This patch fixes this by explicitly calling netif_carrier_off() in
phylink_start().
