Subject: [PATCH 01/11] IB/ipoib: Export call to call_netdevice_notifiers and add new private flag
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:40:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11898132322950-git-send-email-fubar@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11898132301664-git-send-email-fubar@us.ibm.com>

From: Moni Shoua <monisonlists@gmail.com>

Export the call to raw_notifier_call_chain so modules can send notifications
on netdev events to the netdev_chain.
Add IFF_SLAVE_DETACH to the list of priv_flags for net_device.
This flag is set by a slave that is about to unregisster from the kernel.

Both changes are used in bonding slaves that wish to inform the bonding master
about coming detachment.
