[PATCH net-next v4 2/5] net/lapb: support netdev events

From: Martin Schiller
Date: Fri Nov 20 2020 - 00:41:31 EST


This patch allows layer2 (LAPB) to react to netdev events itself and
avoids the detour via layer3 (X.25).

1. Call lapb_disconnect_request() on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events.

2. When a NETDEV_DOWN event occur, clear all queues, enter state
LAPB_STATE_0 and stop all timers.

3. The NETDEV_CHANGE event makes it possible to handle carrier loss and
detection.

In case of Carrier Loss, clear all queues, enter state LAPB_STATE_0
and stop all timers.

In case of Carrier Detection, we start timer t1 on a DCE interface,
and on a DTE interface we change to state LAPB_STATE_1 and start
sending SABM(E).
