This patch allows layer2 (LAPB) to react to netdev events itself and avoids the detour via layer3 (X.25). 1. Establish layer2 on NETDEV_UP events, if the carrier is already up. 2. Call lapb_disconnect_request() on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events to signal the peer that the connection will go down. (Only when the carrier is up.) 3. When a NETDEV_DOWN event occur, clear all queues, enter state LAPB_STATE_0 and stop all timers. 4. 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).

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.
