[PATCH 4.9 09/59] net: hns: add netif_carrier_off before change speed and duplex

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 14:38:51 EST


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

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

From: Peng Li <lipeng321@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 455c4401fe7a538facaffb35b906ce19f1ece474 ]

If there are packets in hardware when changing the speed
or duplex, it may cause hardware hang up.

This patch adds netif_carrier_off before change speed and
duplex in ethtool_ops.set_link_ksettings, and adds
netif_carrier_on after complete the change.
