[PATCH 6.1 305/372] Revert ncsi: Propagate carrier gain/loss events to the NCSI controller

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johnathan Mantey <johnathanx.mantey@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9e2e7efbbbff69d8340abb56d375dd79d1f5770f upstream.

This reverts commit 3780bb29311eccb7a1c9641032a112eed237f7e3.

The cited commit introduced unwanted behavior.

The intent for the commit was to be able to detect carrier loss/gain
for just the NIC connected to the BMC. The unwanted effect is a
carrier loss for auxiliary paths also causes the BMC to lose
carrier. The BMC never regains carrier despite the secondary NIC
regaining a link.

This change, when merged, needs to be backported to stable kernels.
5.4-stable, 5.10-stable, 5.15-stable, 6.1-stable, 6.5-stable
