From b2d3bcfa26a7a8de41f358a6cae8b848673b3c6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Decotigny Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 09:59:13 -0800 Subject: net: core: Expose number of link up/down transitions Expose the number of times the link has been going UP or DOWN, and update the "carrier_changes" counter to be the sum of these two events. While at it, also update the sysfs-class-net documentation to cover: carrier_changes (3.15), carrier_up_count (4.16) and carrier_down_count (4.16) Signed-off-by: David Decotigny [Florian: * rebase * add documentation * merge carrier_changes with up/down counters] Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
