If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 44c445c3d1b4eacff23141fa7977c3b2ec3a45c9 ] This patch fixes a race condition that can result into the interface being up and carrier on, but with transmits disabled in the hardware. The bug may show up by repeatedly IFF_DOWN+IFF_UP the interface, which allows e1000_watchdog() interleave with e1000_down().
