In ib_query_port(), use the netdev's IFF_UP flag to determine phys_state (flag set = down = POLLING, flag clear = disabled = DISABLED). Callers can then use the phys_state field to distinguish between links which have a dead partner, cable missing, etc., from links which are turned off on the local node. This is useful for HA and supportability. Signed-off-by: Andrew Boyer <andrew.boyer@dell.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
