LINKSTATE_GET
=============
-Requests link state information. At the moment, only link up/down flag (as
-provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided but some future
-extensions are planned (e.g. link down reason). This request does not have any

+Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
+``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
+be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
+is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
+any attributes.

==================================== ====== ============================
For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
define their own handler.
+``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
+optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
+``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
+or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.

``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
devices supporting the request).
