Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/2] dev: update __dev_notify_flags() to send rtnl msg
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 12:02:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380103365-5185-1-git-send-email-nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130924094707.41641042@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net>

This patch only prepares the next one, there is no functional change.
Now, __dev_notify_flags() can also be used to notify flags changes via
rtnetlink.

Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com>
---

v3: add patch #1
    use __dev_notify_flags() to notify rxflags (note that notifier chains are
    not called when flags IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI are changed)

v2: rework the patch to avoid double notification
