The operstate update logic will leave an interface in the default UNKNOWN operstate if the interface carrier state never changes from the default carrier up state set at creation. This includes the case of an explicit call to netif_carrier_on, as the carrier on to on transition has no effect on operstate. This affects virtio-net for the case that the virtio peer does not support VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS (the feature that provides carrier state updates). Without this feature, the virtio specification states that "the link should be assumed active," so, logically, the operstate should be UP instead of UNKNOWN. This has impact on user space applications that use the operstate to make availability decisions for the interface. Resolve this by changing the virtio probe logic slightly to call netif_carrier_off for both the "with" and "without" VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS cases, and then the existing call to netif_carrier_on for the "without" case will cause an operstate transition.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
