Subject: [PATCH net v1] net: usbnet: Fix the wrong netif_carrier_on() call placement
Date: Sat, 2 Aug 2025 01:20:44 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250801182044.39420-1-ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org> (raw)
The commit in the Fixes tag breaks my laptop (found by git bisect).
My home RJ45 LAN cable cannot connect after that commit.
The call to netif_carrier_on() should be done when netif_carrier_ok()
is false. Not when it's true. Because calling netif_carrier_on() when
__LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER is not set actually does nothing.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/0752dee6-43d6-4e1f-81d2-4248142cccd2@gnuweeb.org
Fixes: 0d9cfc9b8cb1 ("net: usbnet: Avoid potential RCU stall on LINK_CHANGE event")
