What is not synchronized with config > change that needs to be? I meant, 1) maclvan depends on the linkwatch to transfer operstate from the lower device to itself. 2) ndo_open()/close() will not trigger the linkwatch so we need to do it by ourselves in virtio-net to make sure macvlan get the correct opersate 3) consider config change work can change the state so ndo_close() needs to synchronize with it Thanks
