Title:
  tun/tap: unable to manage carrier state from userland

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Cosmic:

Bug description:
  === SRU Justification ===
  [Impact]
  Userspace cannot change tun's carrier state.

  [Fix]
  Add .ndo_change_carrier callback for tun.

  [Test]
  User confirm the backport works.
   
  [Regression Potential]
  Low. It add a new function and a new case switch for ioctl, but the new
  code doesn't affect existing behavior.

change").
