From aee04f4bb44d47205f4db9e84384116bb213160e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Russell King (Oracle)" Date: Wed, 29 May 2024 09:40:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: remove unnecessary netif_carrier_off() It is incorrect to call netif_carrier_off(), or in fact any driver teardown, before unregister_netdev() has been called. unregister_netdev() unpublishes the network device from userspace, and takes the interface down if it was up prior to returning. Therefore, once the call has returned, we are guaranteed that .ndo_stop() will have been called for an interface that was up. Phylink will take the carrier down via phylink_stop(), making any manipulation of the carrier in the remove path unnecessary. In the stmmac_release() path, the netif_carrier_off() call follows the call to phylink_stop(), so this call is redundant.
