Subject: macvlan: Change status when lower device goes down
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
Git-commit: 80fd2d6ca5461b2752744df2e6e387cc65e7b86c
References: bsc#1109837

Today macvlan ignores the notification when a lower device goes
administratively down, preventing the lack of connectivity from
bubbling up.

Processing NETDEV_DOWN results in a macvlan state of LOWERLAYERDOWN
with NO-CARRIER which should be easy to interpret in userspace.

2: lower: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
3: macvlan@lower: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
