From 42e52bf9e3ae80fd44b21ddfcd64c54e6db2ff76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Sat, 25 May 2013 04:12:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: add netnotifier event for upper device change Now when upper device is changed, event is not propagated via RT Netlink to userspace. Userspace might never now about the change. Fix this by adding upper-device-change notifier event. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
