[ Upstream commit526f28bd0f] There are cases where the device is adminstratively UP, but operationally down. For example, we have a physical device (Nvidia ConnectX-6 Dx, 25Gbps) who's cable was pulled out, here is its ip link output: 5: ens2f1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether b8:ce:f6:4b:68:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enp179s0f1np1 As you can see, it's administratively UP but operationally down. In this case, sending a packet to this port caused a nasty kernel hang (so nasty that we were unable to capture it). Aborting a transmit based on operational status (in addition to administrative status) fixes the issue.

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.
