I have discovered an undesirable side effect caused by this
change. If it
isn't too late, I'd like to see this change set dropped.
And what is that side effect?
This is already in the following released kernels:
5.4.258 5.10.198 5.15.134 6.1.56 6.5.6 6.6
so please, fix this in Linus's tree and tag the fix for the
stable
backports as well and all will be good.
The problem discovered:
The network link between the BMC NIC reports NO-CARRIER when the
carrier is lost from one of the secondary network ports.
Restoring carrier on the secondary network port does not restore
CARRIER state on the BMC shared interface.
Carrier loss and gain on the BMC NIC should only be due to
removal/insertion of a network connection to the RJ45 shared by
the BMC and host OS.
thanks,
