Resending my previous email as I would really want this feature.
I asked for help on IRC channel too but it hardly appears active.

Hmm, that wasn't the actual question though, was it? The point was just
to make networkd ignore carrier status (i.e. often there's no need to
remove addresses just because the interface is down for a moment), not
to stop managing halfway.
Adding an option "IgnoreCarrier=" or so would be OK I figure. Best way
to get it implemented is submitting a PR for it ;-)
Ok I am completely new to systemd.
So looking at the code and trying to figure out the flow.
I believe I have to add IgnoreCarrier option in link-config.[ch] file.
Function that handles "Lost/Gain Carrier" is in networkd-link.c
There are two struct here: one is "link_config" and other is "Link"
link-config is what will store boolean ignore_carrier. (or any
configuration value)
Link is what stores actual link data. (carrier status)
I am kind of stuck at one place. Searched a lot - but could not figure out.
I could not find anyway to find underlying "link_config" associated with
"Link".
For example:
Inside networkd-link.c how do I check this:
if (Link->link_config->ignore_carrier) {
// do nothing
}
else {
// continue existing code
}
Please also have a look at whatever I have done so far, here:

Thanks

PS: Dont know if this list is right place to ask such questions.
But since its "-devel" mailing list I am posting here.
