This patch series adds dev_change_proto_down_generic, a generic implementation of ndo_change_proto_down, which sets the netdev carrier state according to the new proto_down value.
This handler adds the ability to set protodown on macvlan and vxlan interfaces in a generic way for use by control protocols like VRRPD. Patch (1) introduces the handler in net/code/dev.c. Patch (2) and (3) add support for change_proto_down in macvlan and vxlan drivers, respectively, using the new function.
